Ensuring Your Site Has Room to Grow

In BoostonCP, your account is assigned specific storage and file count limits. Follow this manual to audit your current consumption and prevent disk-full errors.

Step 1: Open the Resources Portal

Navigate to Disk Usage or Inode Monitor from your User Dashboard.

Step 2: Auditing Disk Space

The Disk Usage grid provides a breakdown of where your storage is being consumed:

  • Web Files: Space used by your website directories (public_html).
  • Databases: Payload size of your MySQL/MariaDB stores.
  • Email Data: Storage occupied by your mailboxes and attachments.

Step 3: Monitoring Inode Consumption

An Inode represents a single file, folder, or symbolic link. If you reach your Inode limit, you will not be able to create new files even if you have disk space available.

  1. Check the "Inode Usage" gauge.
  2. If usage is above 90%, use the File Manager to delete temporary caches, old backups, or unused sessions.
MANUAL TIP: The data in the Resources portal is updated in real-time. If you delete a large file, the progress bars will recalibrate instantly.
