I trying to upload in Mostar a zipped website part by part. And parts less that 15mb cannot be uploaded saying “Server Transfer” and thats is. This host is just a scam and completely useless, created just to steal our time and personal information. I do not recommend to anyone to buy anything here. Years ago it was legit host, now it is a scam platform.
Did you read
It is totally free. There is no need to buy

So, now you assume that i’m as web developer dumb, and i don’t know that files must be uploaded to htdocs directory. You just proving my point about this host.
There’s no scam. Individual files have always been limited to 10mb.
The easiest thing to do is to unzip your files and upload the entire directory through FTP, such as with Filezilla. Filezilla can automatically upload all of the individual files one after another in their proper place.

You said it.
Well it shows you do not read.
That is what I am trying to say

Online file managers are not great with ZIP files. MonstaFTP is just an FTP client, so it cannot really extract ZIP files “on the server”, all it can do is extract the files on the file manager server and upload them over FTP one-by-one. That’s quite slow and fragile, so it doesn’t work very well.
Instead of trying to upload the zipped files, please extract the zip files locally and upload the extracted files using a desktop FTP client like FileZilla. Sure, that may take quite a bit of time too depending on the size of your website, but it does work reliable for websites of all sizes.
If you believe that we are committing fraud and are completely useless by not having a flawless file manager, then you are entitled to that opinion. But to throw accusations of criminal activity around because the first try to upload your website doesn’t completely work the way you had expected seems like a bit of a presumptuous judgement to me.

I used FileZilla to upload the files and the site should work correctly by now in any legitimate host, but your host just deleting automatically some files from htdocs and from content plugin directory(main files that belong to plugins), so the website cannot run because of the critical errors. The only thing i see, its that your supposed host throwing advertisements with any click i do, but my website is not working.

@Yourhostisascam Everyone has been trying to help you and posted many times the link to the article that explains everything about where to upload your files and why they might be deleted for being too large or in the wrong place
But it seems that even when given all the information you need to solve your issue you still cannot be bothered to read the article and fix your website
Nobody can help you if you refuse to follow the instructions given

My website got broken after uploading it to this host. You mention at the start that files above 10mb cannot be uploaded without being deleted as also php files that exceed 1mb. I uploaded file of 996kb from localhost via FileZilla that immediately got deleted on your host from htdocs directory. 1mb is 1024kb, and this file is less. You cannot solve someone’s issue when your instructions are incorrect.
That’s only 4kb away from the limit. Rounding, improper reporting, etc could all cause the system to believe the file is in fact a bit larger and delete it.
Wrong. 1mb is 1000kb.
1024kb is one mib, note the letter “i”.
Also, I never gave you instructions, I linked you to a support article regarding your dilemma.

What? And you are moderator here? 
You don’t even know what the actual size of 1 megabyte is. Since the first mention of megabyte it was 1024 kilobytes, this is why the RAM of 1GB is actually 1024Megabytes. The dumb greedy manufacturers who wanted to make more money by stealing atleast something from customers started to sell DVD disks and hard disks where this value is counted as 1mb=1000kb something that shown in the Windows systems always less than the actual size the manufacturer mention in description. This is why when you buying 1TB HDD the system shows that you actually have 932Gb. Then those crooks even invented a new name for 1024 calculation. You must be very young to not know that.
The current form of measurement states that 1MB is 1000KB and 1MiB is 1,024KB.
The value of 1MB in the past does not really matter here.
Also, a quiz on storage units is not a requirement to become a moderator

It is actually matter, because you tells that file of 1Mb can be uploaded, but your system calculating it as 932 kilobytes. So this is not 1Mb. By using commercial system of count you cannot fool the programming mathematics. 
Then by your own logic, you’re also not suitable to become a moderator. Because 1Mb is 1 million bits, not bytes. That’s 1/8th of 1 MB.
Yes, I’m being pedantic. Mb and MB are both commonly used when MiB is the actual unit of measure. But the fact remains is that these are all different units with each their own meaning.
Is it misleading? Perhaps. Are we lying to you? No.
But your hard drive manufacturer uses GB for capacity and your internet provider uses Mb for your download speed. And no, that doesn’t mean you can download a 500 GiB file onto a 500 GB drive, in 1024 seconds using a 500 Mb/s internet connection.
Then there is such a thing as filesystem overhead. A file that’s 931 kB on one file system can be slightly smaller or larger depending on the type of storage it’s stored on. Every storage system has it’s own bookkeeping about the files that are stored and constraints on how tightly files can be packed.
The point I’m trying to make: measuring the size of a file is not an exact science and guaranteed to be exactly the same in all situations. So if your file is approaching the advertised limit and is being deleted, you should probably try reducing the size and see if that will let you upload the file.
You can complain to us that we’re not letting you upload the file that you say is less than 1 “MB”, just like you can complain to your hard drive manufacturer that your 512 GB drive does not have 512 GB of usable space in your computer: it won’t get you anywhere and you’ll have to make do with the limits you have.

Mb is reffered to Megabytes since the sales of any type of storage existed, and it is 1024 kilobytes because it is counted in binary system which is correctly related to the computers architecture based on transistors that can count only 0 and 1. The market scammers instead of using binary count of storage as they should, they preferred a decimal system which sounds exactly like binary one with commercial naming, but need to spend a little bit less resources to manufacture hard disks and then sell them in prices as they had binary value.
And the filesystem is not an excuse when you say that the limit is 1MB, but 994kilobytes cannot be uploaded, because like that the 1MB(decimal or binary) it is a lie. Its like selling 930 grams of potato’s in 1 kilogram value with excuse that the small bag cannot hold more, and thats why there is 70gram less.
Introducing the Mebibyte (MIB)
In contrast to the megabyte, the mebibyte is a unit of measurement based on binary rather than decimal values. The mebibyte was introduced by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) in 1998 to clarify issues arising from the use of decimal-based prefixes for binary-based measurements. One mebibyte is equal to 1,048,576 bytes, where a byte consists of 8 bits.
Hence, the mebibyte provides a more accurate representation of data capacity in binary systems.
I’ve always used MB in the past but things change with time, I remember when gay used to mean happy but now it means homosexual 
So I just give in and accept the changes

Here are some sections I copied from the Wikipedia article about the Megabyte:
The megabyte is a multiple of the unit byte for digital information. Its recommended unit symbol is MB. The unit prefix mega is a multiplier of 1000000 (106) in the International System of Units (SI).[1] Therefore, one megabyte is one million bytes of information. This definition has been incorporated into the International System of Quantities.
And also:
This article is about the decimal unit of data. For binary unit of 10242 bytes, see mebibyte.
A megabyte is 1,000,000 bytes. That’s the official definition. That’s not a scam, it’s not marketing and it’s not just an opinion. It’s the only right definition.
Many people, including myself, often use “MB” when we actually mean “MiB”. But that’s technically wrong.
The file size limit for PHP and HTML files is 1 MB. Not 1 MiB, but really 1 MB.
You’re entitled to have your opinion about this, but this is how our hosting works. Either you can adjust your website to work with these limits or find other hosting that better suits your needs.
