You can modify the amount of disk space allocated to any of the available FTP accounts. Follow the instructions below.

NOTE: Your overall FTP disk quota is limited by the total disk space available for your hosting account. For example: If you have 5000 MB of disk space in your hosting account and set a FTP account’s disk quota to 9999 MB, the quota will still be 5000 MB.

Steps

1. Go to the “FTP Accounts” page in your cPanel control panel.
2. When the page loads, you will see an “Accounts Management” table consisting of the following information split into six columns:
   • User – This entry shows the login/username for the associated FTP account.
   • Type – This entry shows various icons depending on the type of FTP account. View the “Legend” table for further information.
   • Directory – This entry shows the location of the FTP account (the FTP user is restricted to the directory defined in this entry).
   • Disk Usage – This entry shows the amount of disk space used by the associated FTP account.
   • Quota – This entry shows the amount of disk space allocated to the associated FTP account.
   • Functions – This entry provides the following options:
     • Delete – Click on the Delete icon to delete the FTP account from the system.
     • Edit Quota – Click on the Edit Quota icon to change or modify the amount of disk space allocated to the associated FTP account.
     • Change Password – Click on the Change Password icon to change or modify the password of the associated FTP account.
3. Find the FTP account you want to modify in the “User” column.
4. Click on the Edit Quota icon in the “Functions” column for the associated FTP account.
5. Enter or change the current quota in the New Quota text box. Remember, the value you enter is in megabytes only.
6. Click on the Change button.
7. You will see the following statement:
   • “The ftp account LOGIN was successfully modified with a new quota of NEW_AMOUNT Megabytes.”

We have been considering upgrading our hosting packages for months now. Some of our clients needed more than what we offered and we started making calculations. So we finally decided to go ahead with it. We upgraded and activated the new hosting packages today. The monthly hosting cost stays the same. And yes, if you are a client your current hosting package would have been upgraded also, now isn’t that a bargain!

Have a look at our new packages:

                                   Basic            Standard            Business          Business PRO

Disk Space              50MB             1500MB               3000MB               5000MB

Bandwidth              400MB           10000MB             30000MB             50000MB

Sub Domains             5                        10                        20                    Unlimited

FTP Accounts              5                        15                        25                    Unlimited

SQL Databases          5                        10                        50                    Unlimited

Mail Accounts              5                        50                       500                   Unlimited

 
All these packages still comes with all the software and features they used to come with.

First of all you will need to get a hosting company, like Definite Web Hosting, to host your website on servers where other people or browsers can access your website. You then need to pick the correct package for your needs. You will also need to choose your domain name, for example yourdomain.co.za or yourdomain.com etc. Once you’ve registered an account with us we will send you all your account details you need to upload and manage your website. After your website is complete and you’re ready to publish it, use FTP to upload your website to our servers. This can be done through Internet Explorer, any other browser or 3rd party software. You log in with your given username and password and just copy and paste your website files.

This is one of the questions we get asked the most. It is actually very quick and simple. When you order a hosting package from Definite Web Hosting you will get a welcome e-mail(domain activation) which contains all the configuration settings that you will need to upload and maintain your website.

Now, if your domain has not been registered yet or hasn’t finished propogation, you will need to follow these steps. Look for the header Publishing Your Website. Then look for Temporary Host Name, next to it you will see something like this: ftp://75.102.28.5

The WWW folder is actualy only a shortcut to Public HTML. If your domain is not yet registered you can view your website at the Preview URL supplied under Genereal Information in the Welcome e-mail. Preview URL is your access to your account until your domain name is transferred and pointed to our servers.

If your domain is allready registered and you want to upload your website files, you just need to type in ftp.yourdomain.com in your web browser and log in with the same username and password. This information is also supplied under General Information in the Welcome email.

If you have any questions or comments, please leave a comment.
