Account Storage

HelioHost offers 1000 MB of web space, with unlimited inodes, for hosting accounts on our Morty, Tommy, and Johnny servers.

This figure combines your stored files (including account backups, error logs, and emails), your databases, and items in your trash folder.

This should be more than enough to handle any forum, blog, or other script you might need to host. Sites that might encounter problems with this limit include photo galleries with high-megapixel images or online storage sites. In general, this limit should not be a problem to the great majority of hosting users.

Donations for Additional Storage

For each one-time $5 USD donation, users can add 1000 MB extra space to their account on Morty, Tommy, or Johnny, up to a maximum account size of 7000 MB.

The storage space, once increased, stays with your account forever. If you switch hosting plans, the storage transfers with your account. If you go inactive and your account is archived, the storage space will still be there years from now when you renew your account.

For users who wish to pay for more memory, CPUs, or file space, we offer VPS plans with storage options ranging from 50 GB to 300 GB, and a 10% discount when you pay for 6 months upfront.
