Inodes

[hatc11]

Hi,

I am new in this community, and became a user of infinityfree 2 days ago.
I have only uploadet the stock version of prestashop 9.0.2.

Now today I received below message regarding Inodes. I have tried to find more information on the community site and the website, but with no luck.

Can anyone explain to me what this is.

”Hello Valued Customer,

This mail is to let you know that your site has used/almost used all if its disk inodes.

A disk inode is allocated for every file uploaded irregardless of the size of the file.

You can see your inode usage on the left bar of your Vistapanel.

We would suggest you should consider upgrading your account to a premium (paid) account where the resource limits are MASSIVLY upgraded, where your site can continue to grow.

You also receive a free (.info , .com , .net , or .org) domain name with every premium account !!

To upgrade now, simply goto https://ifastnet.com/portal/aff.php?aff=

If you do not upgrade you may need to remove files using FTP or the file manager in your control panel in order to continue using the free account.

Regards

Inode limit on free hosting

Your control panel shows an inode counter that tracks how many files and folders you have on your hosting account. If you’re seeing high inode usage or approaching the limit, don’t panic. Most websites use many inodes, and this is completely normal. Should I be worried about my inode usage? For most websites, high inode usage is expected and not a problem: Normal usage: 40-60% of your inode limit is typical for websites with WordPress, plugins, themes, or multiple sites.
