In order to choose a hosting package that will fit your needs, begin by thinking about the goals of your business. The biggest differentiators between hosting packages are the size of disk space, monthly data transfer, number of emailboxes and tools such as open source applications and programming languages. After you determine how you plan to use your site and the amount of traffic you expect on your site, you'll be able to identify which package is best for your business.

If you need more storage, data transfer capability, or multiple file transfer (FTP) accounts, log into your VALVPS Customer Panel, click on the Web Hosting tab, and then choose the hosting package to which you'd like to upgrade.

An inode is a data structure used to keep information about a file on your hosting account. The number of inodes indicates the number of files and folders you have. This includes everything on your account, emails, files, folders, anything you store on the server. There is currently an limit of 100k/250k inodes on our web hosting accounts.

What is the 100k/250k inode limit?

Web Hosting and Reseller Hosting servers only allow 100,000 inodes per cPanel. This is a "soft limit," and when this limit is reached you will still be able to upload files.

However, once the account passes the 100,000 inode threshold it will no longer be included in our weekly backups. If the account exceeds 250,000 inodes then it will be in violation of our Acceptable Use Policy and may be flagged for review and/or suspension.

Inode violations can include:

• - Creation and deletion of large numbers of files on a regular basis.
• - Causing file system damage.
• - Exceeding 250,000 inodes.
