Resquest: Please upgrade Disk Space

[adamkrop]

Hello, I'm running a wordpress website on the free server.
I've set up the base website and looking to transfer a backup of my old website from an old server to this one. I'm using All-in-one wordpress migration plugin and have uploaded the 400+/- MB file. It requires an additional 400MB buffer to complete the import and restore.

Please upgrade my limit on this account.

Thank you.

just an opinion, 800+ MB seems like a heck of a large amount.
when a basic website averages 10 to 50 mb
without a bunch of images or videos.
its just surprising to see a need for so much space for wordpress.

it may be a while before staff gets to increase your amount,
so expect a possible wait on free accounts.

thanks for your feedback.

I've got the basic wordpress up and running. The backup/restore file of the website I developed on a different and unsatisfactory server is less than 400 MB. I need twice that so that the WP backup plugin can download/upload and then unpackage the backup file I guess.

Its a personal portfolio with a number of good resolution images, plugins and decent theme. I don't think the size is unreasonable.
And 10xhosting offers "unmetered bandwidth and disk space". But I get the 7 day wait period.

you're welcome to have a look once I get this sorted at adamkrop.studio

And Admin, If you're reading, please set me up!

Although you do not actually meet all requirements, I have set your account up for doubled the space due to the circumstances.
One requirement is that you are already using half the allotted space just to clarify which part you don't meet.

Please note that we have a limit on how big a personal gallery can be as noted in the ToS the max allowed space for the images is 500 mb.

In order to combat abuse we no longer switch accounts to unmetered but we can upgrade the diskspace several times if needed in the future, though you would then need to use the initial allottment plus at least half of the previous added space (so for second run it would need to be over 512(initial space)+256(half of the 512 added) =768mb).
