The disk space quota is the total amount of hard drive space allocated on the server for an account.
The disk space quota is usually set in a package that is assigned to the account when the account is created.
Upgrading or downgrading the account to another package that has a different disk space quota will adjust the disk space quota automatically without having to go through the steps in this tutorial.
- Login to WHM.
- Click on the Account Functions icon (or section heading in the side column).
- Click on the Quota Modification icon (or link in the side column) .
- Select the domain or the user of the account.
- Click the Modify button.
- Enter the new value (in megabytes).
- Click the Change button.
Note: This will override the settings in a package if one is assigned to the account.
However, changing the settings in a package will automatically overwrite any custom changes that are set here.
To avoid this, it is recommended that you create a new package with the new settings, then switch the package for the account to this new package instead of modifying the quota here.
Tip: For special packages that are only meant for one account, it is recommended that you name the package after the domain or user for which it is assigned as a matter of convention.
Tip: If the change is meant to be temporary, simply re-assign the package to the account using the Upgrade/Downgrade an Account option located in the Account Functions section to revert the disk space quota back to the original setting in the package.
