Your hosting package has two separate storage limits: disk space and inodes (number of files). When either is full, new files cannot be uploaded, email stops arriving and the site may start showing errors.
In short
- Disk quota: the total space for your files, databases, email and backups.
- Inode: the number of files and folders in your account. Every email is a file too.
- Email and old backups usually take up the most space.
Where can I see my usage?
- Log in to your Plesk panel at
https://yourdomain.com:8443or from the service page in your client area. - On the Websites & Domains page, look at the Disk space indicator on the right, or at Statistics in the left menu.
To free up space
| What? | What to do |
|---|---|
| Clean out old emails with large attachments, and the Trash and Spam folders. | |
| Backups | Download old backup files (.zip, .tar.gz, .sql) to your computer and delete them from the server. |
| Cache | Empty your cache plugin's folder (wp-content/cache). |
| Log files | Delete large error_log files. |
| WordPress | Delete unused themes, plugins and unnecessary images. |
If that is still not enough, you can move to a package with more disk space from your client area; the price is calculated for the remaining period.
