Updated

Disk allowance is how much space you are given to use on your Pair Networks account. For a more detailed explanation, go to the Disk Space and Bandwidth Usage article.

Quick View of Disk Space

    1. Log into the Account Control Center (ACC) at my.pair.com
    2. In the “Resource Usage” section, your account’s disk space allowance is listed

    Disk Space shows you how much disk space you have used and how much is still available.

    Some account types might show disk allowances for multiple drives or partitions.

What Happens When I Go Over?

Some accounts are fixed so that you cannot exceed your allotted disk space, while others allow you to go over, but charge a fee for doing so.

Shared Hosting and WP Enthusiast

For Shared Hosting and WP Enthusiast, there are charges that occur when you use more than your allotted disk space. To see how these fees are calculated, look at this explanation.

If you find yourself consistently exceeding the allotted space, you should consider upgrading to the next package for more space. Upgrading is easy. Check out how here.

WP Professional

For WP Professional, if you’ve reached your disk space limit, you can upgrade to the next package to increase your disk space. You can easily upgrade in the ACC. Check out how here.
