Service | Quota |
---|---|
Sitehost | 2 GB |
Pages | 1 GB |
MySQL for Sitehost account | 5 GB |
Sitehost has a hard quota limit of 2 GB, and Pages has a hard quota limit of 1 GB. If you require more than the quota, you can contact Tier 2 to request an increase. When making a request for a storage increase, you should provide details explaining your need for the increase. Users are urged to store any large media files (images, videos, PDFs, etc.) on external services.
As a Sitehost or Pages account owner, you are required to follow best practices on your site to stay below the quota:
To see how much space your Sitehost or Pages account is currently using, visit the URLs below:
https://webtech.uits.iu.edu/groupAccount/<account>/sitehost
(replace <account>
with the actual account name)https://webtech.uits.iu.edu/pages
Alternatively, you can check your disk space use from the command line. To do so, connect to Sitehost via SSH (for connection instructions, see Use PuTTY to connect to Sitehost). Once you are logged into the terminal, enter:
du -h
The command may take several minutes to run if your account has a large number of files. As it scans your account, the command will list your folders along with the size of each. When complete, the command will display your account's total used space at the end (bordered in red below):
If you are transferring files to your account and notice that the files you transferred are shown as "0KB" (empty), you may have reached your quota limit. If you reach your storage quota limit while transferring files, you will see an error message; the specific error message you see will depend on the way you are accessing your account:
Error occurred during SFTP transport: Could not put file with path
Note that any file queued for publishing via WCMS may end up being written, or over-written as 0KB (empty).

You are granted an automatic 5 GB quota when your MySQL for Sitehost account is created.
As a MySQL for Sitehost account owner, you are required to follow best practices on your site to stay below the 5 GB quota:
To see how much space your MySQL for Sitehost account is currently using, use MySQL workbench to run this API stored procedure:
call api.checkDbSize('name', 'asc');
The procedure above returns a list of schemas in ascending alphabetical order by schema name, along with current size in megabytes (MB). Using different arguments, you can sort by schema size ('size'
instead of 'name'
) and descending order ('desc'
instead of 'asc'
).
This procedure ignores empty schemas (those with no tables).
