Extending your plan.

WHEN YOU NEED IT

Your account is approaching its disk limit You are exceeding your bandwidth allowance

CHECK FIRST

cPanel statistics panel shows disk, inodes and bandwidth used against your allowances.

WHAT IS USUALLY CONSUMING SPACE

Old backup archives left on the account Mailboxes, particularly Trash and Junk Cache directories Uploaded media, especially video Old site copies

CLEAN UP BEFORE BUYING

cPanel > Disk Usage shows the largest directories.

Frequently a clean-up recovers more than an upgrade would provide, at no cost.

INODES

Check this too. Many small files exhaust the inode limit before the disk limit, and produce identical symptoms.

IF YOU GENUINELY NEED MORE

Client Area > Services > Upgrade, or open a ticket.

Upgrading to a larger plan is frequently better value than buying an add-on.

WHAT WE WILL TELL YOU

Honestly whether you need more space or a clean-up.

We would rather you were on the right plan than the largest one.
