An inode is an identifier for every file or folder in your hosting account. It doesn’t matter if the file is large or small: every file, image, email, or folder counts as one inode.

If you reach your plan’s inode limit, you won’t be able to upload more files or create new folders until you free up space.

How Many Inodes Does Each Plan Have?

You can check your account’s inode usage by logging into cPanel and looking for the file usage section in the right-hand column.

What Causes High Inode Usage?

Certain actions or applications can quickly consume a lot of inodes:

• WordPress and Moodle: Each plugin, image, update, or Moodle course can generate thousands of small files.
• Emails: Every email stored in your inbox counts as one inode.
• Cache and Temporary Files: Some plugins and dynamic sites generate files that accumulate over time.
• Server Backups: If you use your hosting to store backups, you can quickly reach your inode limit.

How to Free Up Inodes

If you’re close to the limit, here are some simple ways to free up inodes:

✔ Delete unnecessary files: Review and remove files you no longer need.
✔ Clean up your email: Delete old emails or empty the trash.
✔ Clear cache for WordPress, Moodle, or any application you use: Use plugins or tools to remove temporary files.
✔ Remove unused plugins and themes: If you have WordPress themes or plugins you don’t use, uninstall them.
✔ Avoid storing backups on your hosting: Download them to your computer instead.

What Happens If I Reach the Limit?

If you hit the inode limit, you won’t be able to create new files or folders. You’ll have 7 days to reduce your usage before your account is fully restricted.
