Quota
The storage space or bandwidth allocated in a hosting plan, limiting how much content can be stored or transferred without upgrading service tiers.
A quota is the limit on resources allocated to your hosting account, typically referring to storage space, bandwidth, or both. Your hosting plan specifies how much disk space you can use for files, databases, and emails, as well as how much data can be transferred to and from your server each month. Quotas exist to ensure fair resource distribution among users sharing server infrastructure and to help hosting providers manage capacity effectively. When you approach or exceed your quota, you may receive warnings, experience reduced performance, or need to upgrade to a higher-tier plan with larger limits. Monitoring your quota usage through your hosting control panel helps you plan for growth, identify resource-heavy content, and avoid unexpected service interruptions. Understanding your quotas ensures you choose a hosting plan that matches your needs without paying for unused capacity or running into limitations as your website grows.
