To provide the most robust environment possible, the available storage space is monitored at 5 minute intervals. If our monitoring detects that the available storage space falls below a threshold, an expansion of the storage quota is automatically performed.

Thresholds

For a total storage size below 50 GB, the threshold is 5 GB of free storage.

For a total storage size above 50 GB, the threshold is 10% free space.

Expansion of the storage space

The expansion of the storage space is done automatically in steps of 25 GB.

Reduction of storage space

Reduction of the storage space is not possible. If you no longer need the extra storage, and thus want to optimize the costs, you would need to download a current backup from the server and restore it on a new server.

Billing of the storage space expansion

The additional storage space is charged automatically.
