Without the right information, selecting disk space for a hosting plan can sometimes be a guessing game.
As a general rule, here’s what you can fit into 1GB of disk space = 10,000 pages of text or 5000 images (web optimised) or 50 videos
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 - 2.0GB | 2.0GB - 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 already have a hosting account at another provider, they will generally have disk usage statistics which you can forward to us for review.
