disk space on your account:

Introduction. Disk Space Concepts
Your account allows you to host your website, store incoming
and outgoing mail, create and manage databases. These tasks require disk space
on the hosting servers provided to you through individual
resource quotas. Your account's plan may be, also, configured with summary
disk usage to control disk space usage on an overall basis for all your disk
space consumig resources combined together.
Individual Resource Quotas
Quotas are set separately for your home directory,
each mailbox and DB and define how many MB you can store in it. You can't upload
and store more MB than the resource's quota allows and will get an error message
if you try to do so. Every 5 minutes the system scans your home FTP directory,
mailboxes and DBs to see how much disk space is being used and updates the corresponding
quota usage readings, so you can always check how many MB are being used by the
resource and how many more MB can be uploaded.
Summary Disk Usage
Average and Last Day Summary Disk Usage
Every 24 hours the system scans your FTP home directory, each of your mailboxes
and DBs to summarize disk space used by these resources which makes summary
disk usage for the last day. Summary readings of each daily scan are added
up and divided by days elapsed from the beginning of the billing month to make
your average summary disk usage. If your hosting
plan is configured with the summary disk usage resource, you will see
both figures on your Account -> Quick Access page:
Summary Disk Usage Limit
Free disk space allocated for all your disk space consuming
resources makes your initial summary disk usage limit. However, it doesn't
stop you from using more disk space as quotas do.
If you exceed it, you will be charged overlimit fees. To prevent it, increase
your summary disk usage limit clicking the Edit icon next to the summary
disk usage bar and entering a new summary disk usage limit. Summary
disk usage limit can be max restricted which means you won't be able to
increase it any higher when this limit is reached.
Keep in mind that your hosting plan can be configured
to suspend your account if you use your summary disk usage limit by certain
percent. Before suspension, you would be usually warned by e-mail of approaching
your limit.
Charges for Summary Disk Usage
If by the end of the billing month your average
summary disk usage exceeds summary disk usage
limit, you are charged usage (overlimit) fees.
