Saving Diskspace

Make Good Use of Your Diskspace

We all tend to take our disk space for granted. But when it's gone, all heck can break loose. You can't access your email, you can't upload files, ugh! A few preventative measures will keep unnecessary files from using up your valuable diskspace.

Here are a few things you can do to reduce your space usage:
1. Delete all old files that you are not using
Go to your File manager > www > files are listed here

2. Delete stats files that you are not using
Go to your File Manager > www > stats > files are listed here

3. Reduce file size on images if possible
Try http://www.jpegwizard.com

4. Make sure to delete old email from the server
file manager > yourdomain-mail >
file manager > yourdomain-webmail >

5. Set your email program to delete email from server when you download it to your computer. Set your webmail preferences to delete mail from trash on logout.

NOTES:

The additional folders in the file manager (yourdomain-www, yourdomain-secure, yourdomain-logs), are all aliases of the www folder, so they don't take up any space. These folders are necessary (so don't delete them). For more info on these folders see the Account Overview page in our Support Manual.

If you don't have any expendable files to delete, you can upgrade your hosting package to get more space. Upgrading will also get you more bandwidth (transfer) as well.

To check your disk space, log into your control panel and view the "Resources Available" section. You will see how much space you are using vs how much space you have free. Stats are also shown for transfer usage, email addresses, and mailing lists. See the Control Panel Oveview page in our Support Manual for more detail.
