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.
Reducing Storage Usage
To reduce disk usage if you're nearing your account storage limit:
- Download backups from inside Plesk and deleting them off the server.
- Set a limit on the number of backups stored inside Plesk.
- Change your Plesk logging settings to make smaller log files
- Empty your trash folder on a regular basis.
- Delete emails with large attachments.
Storage Upgrade Options
Sometimes, users wish to increase their account capacity. We offer the following paid options:
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.
Paid VPS Plans
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.
