Inode
A data structure on hosting servers that stores information about files, such as permissions and ownership, helping organize and manage system storage.
An inode is a behind-the-scenes data structure that helps your server keep track of files. It stores details such as file size, ownership, permissions, and location on the disk. Each file and folder uses one inode, so even if you have free storage space, you can still hit a limit if you have too many files. Hosting providers often set inode limits to maintain server efficiency. Understanding inodes can help you clean up unnecessary files and keep your site running smoothly. They're one of those invisible components that quietly keep everything in order.
