At Bobcares, we offer solutions for every query, big and small, as a part of our cPanel WHM Support Services.

Let’s take a look at how our cPanel Support Team is ready to help customers with Disk Quota exceeded messages in cPanel.

How to resolve Disk Quota Exceeded cPanel

The disk space quota is the amount of hard drive space allotted to an account on the server. If we have a VPS, Reseller of Dedicated hosting plan, we get access to WHM. Thereby, allowing us to create multiple cPanels. Each time we create cPanels, we can set the storage limit or quota for each of them.

In case cPanel exceeds the set limit, we are not able to proceed with most tasks. This is where a Disk Quota Exceeded message can cause trouble. Fortunately, resolving the issue is an easy task with our Support Team by your side.

About Disk Space Usage in cPanel

cPanel keeps track of disk space usage for the whole account’s disc space consumption, including databases, email accounts, and so on. Furthermore, these figures are cached for quicker interactions. Additionally, the numbers refresh every four hours.

When we import a database and can view all the tables and data, it indicates that the data is currently taking up space on the hard drive. It may appear as 0 MB in cPanel, however, this will change within 4 hours.

Similarly, when we delete a large number of emails from the trash, the trash folder may appear empty and there. However, that 25 MB is still currently in use in our cPanel until the next update within 4 hours.

If we raise an account’s total disc space and WHM reflects the increase, the account can instantly use the additional disc space. Although cPanel may still display the old disk space limit, it will change in the next update within four hours.

Which cPanel account exceeded the DiskSpace quota?

If you are looking for a way to find out which accounts are over the set quota, follow these steps:

1. First, log in to WHM.
2. Then, head to Show Accounts Over Quota option in the search pane on the left.
3. Now, we will come across a lot of cPanels under our WHM. In case, the disk space is maxed out, we can opt to raise the disk space quote by creating a new package or changing the package in WHM and assigning it to cPanel.

How to change the WHM package

1. First, log in to WHM to get started.
2. Then, in the left-hand search pane, look for Edit a Package.

   
3. Next, choose the package to edit and select the Edit option.
4. After that, make the appropriate changes in the Disk Quota (MB) field. Alternatively, we can opt for Unlimited.
5. Finally, scroll to the bottom of the page and click Save Changes.

How to change cPanel’s Disk Space

1. To begin, go to WHM and log in.
2. Then, head to the Quota Modification option in the search pane on the left.
3. Next, choose the cPanel primary domain or username that we want to modify.
4. After that, modify the disk space and click Save.
