How much disk space do I get for email?

Shared Web Hosting plans

The Hatchling, Baby, and Business plans all come with unlimited amounts of disk space and bandwidth. This means you have unlimited disk space to store emails. However, there are physical limitations, so please learn more at our Terms of Service page.

Reseller Hosting plans and SEO Hosting plans

The reseller and SEO plans all come with limited amounts of disk space and bandwidth. This means you must allocate disk space to each cPanel. The disk space allocated to a cPanel is also the limit for email storage. If you need more disk space to allocate, you may upgrade to a more powerful plan. Again, there are physical server limitations, so please learn more at our Terms of Service page.

VPS plans

The VPS plans all come with limited amounts of disk space and bandwidth. This means you must allocate disk space to each Domain Control Panel. The disk space allocated to a Control Panel is also the limit for email storage. If you need more disk space to allocate, you may upgrade to a more powerful plan. Again, your container has physical limitations, so pay attention to the total disk space on your account.

Dedicated Server plans

The Dedicated Server plans all come with limited amounts of disk space and bandwidth. This means you must allocate disk space to each Domain Control Panel. The disk space allocated to a Control Panel is also the limit for email storage. If you need more disk space to allocate, you may purchase a more powerful server, or you may purchase an additional hard drive. Again, your server has physical limitations, so pay attention to the total disk space on your account.

Limit Emails to a Quota

Of course, when you create any email account, you are allowed to apply an optional quota for that specific email name. This quota will prevent the email user from using all of the disk space for your control panel.
