Checking Your Disk
Usage
Every now and then you may wish to check how much disk space you are
using. To do this, first login to your server using
SSH. We recommend Windows users download PuTTY,
a free SSH client. Once you have logged in, type du -k at the prompt
and hit enter. This will display the amount of disk space you are using. Typing
du --help will show you some of the other options you
may use, for example du -s will display a total
size for you without first displaying the sizes of each individual file, and
du -h will display the amount of disk space used
in megabytes. You may combine these options, for example du -sh
will display the amount of space you are using in megabytes without first displaying
the size of each individual file, as shown below:
bash-2.04$ du -sh
15M
bash-2.04$
If you ever get to the point where you need more disk space, we charge just
$.10 per additional 1MB per month. To order extra disk space please
contact
us. In your message specify your domain name and the amount
of additional space you would like.
