What Happens When I Go Over?
For legacy hosting accounts, there are charges that occur when you use more than your allotted disk space.
At the end of each calendar month, the average use for that month is calculated for disk space. The day of highest usage for both disk space and transfer is omitted from the calculation. The over-usage charges, if any, are based on the results.
For example, if you have a Basic Account allows 5GB of disk space and 50GB/month transfer, but your account used a daily average of 6GB disk space and 52GB/month transfer, your over-usage charges for that month would be:
1GB (1,000MB) of space (6 - 5) * $0.10/MB = $100.00 2GB of transfer (52 - 50) * $1.99/GB = $3.98
The total over-usage charge, in this case, would be $103.98.
If you find yourself consistently exceeding the allotted space, you should consider upgrading to the next package for more space. Upgrading is easy. Check out how here.
