File limits per account and how to analyze the details
Updated last week
Our shared hosting plans have different types of limits on the number of files you can host on your site.
Below, we show you the list of each plan with its respective limit:
Inicio: 200.000
Esencial: 400.000
Avanzado: 600.000
Profesional: 800.000
Empresa: 1.000.000
Roble: 1.200.000
The cloud and dedicated server plans have no file limit.
With rare exceptions, the vast majority of sites do not require more files than the limit assigned to each of the plans we offer.
You can view the total number of files from your cPanel by accessing it through the following address:
Note: remember to replace "misitio.com" with your domain's actual URL.
In the highlighted box, Statistics, the first item shown is the number of files used out of the total allocated to your account.
How to identify directories with the largest number of files
Via SSH or from your cPanel Terminal, you can run the following command to see the number of files in each directory:
find . -printf "%h\n" | cut -d/ -f-2 | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn
You should navigate through the largest directories and run the command again until you specifically identify where most of your files are stored.
We recommend that no folder contain more than 20,000 files or subfolders because this could slow down your site. Note: there is no problem if the sum of all subfolders exceeds this amount; the 20,000 limit applies only to an individual folder.
Also keep in mind that you will not be able to view more than 10,000 files in each directory via FTP, so it would be better to stay below this limit.
