Hosting Account Space Upgrade

[wrestles]

Can I please have the unlimited disk quota? I can't figure out where to find out how much free space I have, but I think I have reached my limit because it won't let me upload any more pictures. I have tons of pictures already uploaded, so I suspect that's what it is. I have lots more to upload though so if I can please have this, it would be very much appreciated. My site is wrestlestuff.x10host.com. Thank you!

I've upgraded you to 1024M for your storage. Once you get near this limit, we can increase it. However, keep in mind that image galleries are limited to 1G.

Thank you! I wasn't quite sure what an image gallery is. Would that be what you'd consider the whole site or is that just one grouping of pictures? I use a lot of small wordpress image galleries on the site but nowhere near 1GB each.

It's the total of all media files (images, video, audio, etc.) not subsets or groupings of them. 1GB is approximately enough for 3000-4000 full-screen (assuming 1080p screen size) images if the files are appropriately optimized (very high-quality, but run through a compression optimizer like JPEGmini), minus whatever room that thumbnails would take up. If you restrict yourself to, say, 1024px wide, you can get about half again as many (the images would be comparatively more detailed at that size, so compression optimization won't squish the files as much; you'd need much smaller images to get much smaller files). If images are a huge part of your site, you may find that storing them on a different service (Imgur, Flickr, what have you) is the best strategy.
