Request for Unlimited Disk Usage

[GD Support]

We require our site to have 100% uptime, and after seeing the usage limit reduced to 512Mb, we have to ask: Please, can we have unlimited disk space, most of our business comes in through E-Mail, and this is absolutely neccessary. Our site takes up a vast majority of our space anyway.

I know of no host that has 100% up time - Google goes down from time to time -
you are for sure not going to get that with free-hosting

Perhaps not the best choice of words. However, having our disk space cut is unexpected, and it would be very much appreciated if this were dealt with in a timely manner.

Please note that you're getting close to the inode limit (not panic time close, but heading that direction). The 50,000 inode limit is a hard limit on Free Hosting; that doesn't go up with unmetered storage. The pattern looks like you have nearly all of that in email (each email is a file, so it's an inode as well). If permanently keeping emails is a part of your plan, it's time to reconsider the plan if you intend to remain on Free Hosting. Moving that data into a database will not only reduce the inode count by an awful lot, it will also save disk space.

We can keep our inode count low enough, the disk space is what we need. Please go into more detail about moving emails into a database, though.

Hi,

You have about 300MB of data in your ".trash" folder on your account. You might want to consider deleting this.

Thank you,
