File size limit problem

[giurlani]

Hello, I really appreciate your service! I'm building a photography website and I have a problem about file size limit: my photos are between 10MB and 20MB, but wordpress says me that the limit is 8MB, how could I solve this?
Thank you, Walter

my photos are between 10MB and 20MB

do not know about WordPress - BUT x10hosting's free-hosting accounts have a hard limit of 10 MiB file size

x10hosting now deletes files 10 MiB (or larger) in size - that have been on the server (in any folder) for more than about 4 hours - from non-upgraded free-hosting accounts only
the 4 hours time limit allows users to upload and extract site backups - and is not for short term file hosting...

see --> 'Terms of Service' (TOS) at [ File Storage ] --> [ https://x10hosting.com/legal/terms-of-service ]

Gosh! This had escaped to me. For HQ foto or small video 10MiB are really too low.
So if I update to a Prime account this limit changes? it will be enlarged or erased?
Nobody nows about the 8MB limit that apper on wordpress?
Thanks

10MiB are really too low

you can store the files at a file-hosting service (which x10hosting free-hosting is not) then link to them from your Web page

I've resolved the 8MB issue in wordpress.
I've instead other questions about the other limit: is 10MiB like you say, or 10MB like is written in ToS? and is possible that a over size file could survive more than 4 hour? I've tried yesterday and the file is still there.

I've also ave anothe question: how coul I see the disk usage/space?
