# Exceeding Resource Limits

Nexicom Web Hosting packages have Disk Space limitations for the amount of data stored on the server. This data includes web site files, emails, databases, and logs. A notification will automatically be emailed to the account holder once the space limit is approaching or has been exceeded.

## Notification

An example of the email notification:

```
<hosting#.nexicom.net> Notification: Resource usage by subscription has exceeded the allotments. The 'domain.ext' subscription, owned by user 'Subscriber Name', is approaching or already exceeded the resource usage limits: Disk space:     1 GB limit / 1029.4 MB (101%) used / 0 MB (0%) remaining
```

## Disk Space Usage

To determine which service is using the Disk Space for your package subscription, you can log in to the [Hosting Control Panel](https://nexicom.net/whost/index.php) and view the **Statistics**.

The location of the **Statistics** information is slightly different, depending on which Hosting server the site resides.

The most common location is in the lower right corner under the heading **Subscription Info**.

Click “View More Statistics” to see the break down of the usage.

If **Web** files are taking up most of the space, the options would be:

- Upgrade the Hosting package.
- Remove any unnecessary web files to recover space.

If **Mail** is taking up most of the space, the options would be:

- Upgrade the Hosting package.
- Delete mail that is stored on the server. See [Deleting Mail From Webmail](https://nexicom.net/kb/deleting-mail-from-webmail/).

To determine which mailboxes are taking up space, click the **Email Addresses** link from the Control Panel. The mailboxes on some Hosting servers are instead accessed by clicking the **Mail** tab from the Control Panel.

The **Usage** column will display how much disk space is being used by each mailbox. This will help target mailboxes that are taking up the most space.

***Note:****Server Disk Space totals do not update immediately, so deleting files or mail may not be reflected in the totals until the following day.*
