To view the amounts of resources your Web site and e-mail accounts can consume:
- Click the Limits icon on your Home page.
- The resource allotments are listed as follows:
- Maximum number of subdomains. The number of subdomains that can be hosted under your domain.
- Maximum number of domain aliases. The number of additional alternative domain names that you can use for your site.
- Disk space. The total amount of disk space allocated to your hosting account. This amount is measured in megabytes. It includes disk space occupied by all files related to this domain/web site: web site contents, databases, applications, mailboxes, log files and backup files. This is the so-called soft quota: when it is exceeded, domain names and web sites are not suspended automatically, only the appropriate notices are sent to your provider's e-mail addresses and the resource overage is indicated by a corresponding icon
shown in the control panel to the left of your domain name. When your web site starts growing and requires more disk space, consider upgrading your hosting plan. - Maximum amount of traffic. Displays the amount of data in megabytes that can be transferred from your web site during a month. Once the limit is reached, the appropriate notices are sent to your provider's e-mail addresses and the resource overage is indicated by a corresponding icon
shown in the control panel to the left of the domain name. When your web site starts attracting more visitors and requires more bandwidth, consider upgrading your hosting plan. - Maximum number of web users. Shows the number of personal web pages that you can host for other users under your domain. This service is mostly used in educational institutions that host non-commercial personal pages of their students and staff. These pages usually have web addresses like http://your-domain.com/~username. If the Allow the web users scripting check box is selected, execution of scripts embedded in personal web pages is allowed. See the Hosting Personal Web Pages on Your Web Server section for details.

- Maximum number of mail autoresponders. Displays the number of automatic responses that can be set up in your domain.
- Maximum number of mailing lists. Shows the number of mailing lists that you can run in a domain. The mailing lists are served by the GNU Mailman software, which may or may not be installed on the server. If it is not installed and you would like to use it, ask your service provider to install it.
- Maximum number of Java applications. Displays the maximum number of Java applications or applets that you can install in a domain.
