Avoid service interruption or downtime

[IbrahemAbdeen]

I want to get information about my use of free hosting, such as the space used to avoid service interruption or downtime

You can find statistics about your account in the control panel. Note that the information only updates once every 8 hours.

The allowed limit is 5 GB. How do I know the number used and remaining?

Secondly, what is meant by the word in red?

The two numbers directly below it

@IbrahemAbdeen

what is meant by the word in red?

Red means you are over the limit and cannot add more files to your account until you delete some

What does the inode limit mean

One of the limits in the control panel is the inode limit. What is it, and what happens when you reach it? What is an inode? In short: every file and directory on your hosting account is an inode. Unix-like systems, like Linux and macOS, use inodes to store information about files and directories. Every file and directory on a computer has an inode. A file system has limited number of inodes it can store, and the more inodes are on a system, the longer it takes to look up files. So too many in…

I’m not sure what part of the step you are confused on, it’s quite straightforward. Use an external site to host your images instead of hosting them on IF.

Also, backup plugins don’t work here due to high usage requirements and the large files that they generate. Please backup your site the way that both WordPress and InfinityFree recommend:

How to backup your website

Good website administration requires making backups of your account regularly and storing them somewhere safe yourself. You also need to download backups in order to migrate website to other hosting accounts. InfinityFree does not create or store any backups of free hosting accounts. It’s your responsibility to regularly create backups, and to store them somewhere safely. Backup your website files The best way to backup your website files is by downloading them using a desktop FTP client. Op…

the reason you cannot add plugins is because you are over the inode limit. I already told you:

The allowed limit is 5 GB.

Disk space and inodes are not the same. They are both affected by the files in your account, but they measure different things.
