Increase Storage Limit Please

[thefour3]

Hi, I have recently been having trouble with files failing to upload via my FTP from Adobe Muse and after visiting my cPanel, I notice that my Disk Space Usage is showing 524.06 MB / 512 MB.

Can I please have the limit increased so that I may be able to continue updating my website (Main Domain thefourthfocus.x10host.com; www.thefourthfocus.com)

Thanks,

Mik

Where's your content that is using 524.06 MB? http://thefourthfocus.x10host.com/ and http://www.thefourthfocus.com/ both display:
Index of /

• .ftpquota

I've just deleted the entire public_html folder so that I could upload my site again with some new content at the cost of removing other pages for now.
FTP transfer is ongoing so it'll not be showing anything for a couple of hours I suspect

OK, my site is back up and running, minus a few of the galleries. Currently I am at 512 MB / 512 MB.

How long does it typically take to be approved for an increase?

Cheers

By the look of your site it is only a display site for your own images, thus this section of the ToS would apply and prevent an upgrade at this time:

Personal Image and Video Galleries
Personal galleries are limited to 500MB of disk space for images and videos.

Thanks for the reply. It's really a portfolio site with public downloads as opposed to a personal gallery but that's fine, I'll work around the limitations for now and sacrifice some images to be able to include more content.

http://www.thefourthfocus.com/images/resogun cover.jpg <-- This is the largest image on your home page. Using FileOptimizer I was able to losslessly compress it from 193,434 bytes to 144,108 bytes; about a 25% savings. I'm not going to say your going to get that much for every image, but download all your files from http://www.thefourthfocus.com/images/ , run them FileOptimizer on the highest settings and then re-upload them. This should free up some space.

Thanks for the tips @lylex10h. I think my main problem was in using Adobe Muse which seems to create bloated sites. Seeing as it's discontinued now anyway, I'm going to switch to a service with a convenient website builder, like Weebly.
