Web hosting: track your usage and upgrade

Your hosting plan comes with a certain amount of storage, mailboxes and resources. From your control panel you can keep an eye on how much you use, and move to a bigger plan the moment you need more.

What to keep an eye on

• Storage: the space used by your website files, databases and mail.
• Mailboxes: how many you have set up versus what your plan allows.
• Databases and websites: how many are active on your plan.

Signs it is time to upgrade

• Your storage is nearly full, or uploads and mail start failing.
• You need more mailboxes or want to host an extra website.
• Your site has grown and needs more headroom.

How to upgrade

Upgrading to a larger plan is straightforward from the control panel and takes effect quickly, without moving your data yourself. Compare the plans on our web hosting page.
