Without the right information, selecting disk space for a hosting plan can sometimes be a guessing game.
When considering your options for a new hosting service, a good estimate of disk usage is:
| Small Website | Medium Website | Large Website | |
| Typical Disk Usage | 0.5GB – 2.00GB | 2.00GB – 4.00GB | 4.00GB – 8.00GB+ |
| Typical Email Usage | 1 Mailbox | 3 – 5 Mailboxes | 5-10+ mailboxes |
| Examples | Personal blog | Small online store (ie. WooCommerce store < 50 products) | WordPress multisite |
| Company identity | Creative professional portfolio | Large online store (ie. WooCommerce store < 200 products) | |
| Simple business site, non-ecommerce | Informative business product site | Customer CRM |
You can review your disk usage at any time in cPanel in the ‘Statistics’ module.
If you use your hosting account to store email, keep in mind that this will also consume disk space for the sotre messages and attachments.
If you already have a hosting account at another provider, they will generally have disk usage statistics which you can forward to us for review.
