Disk space in free hosting
Free hosting provides storage for your website under fair use. Learn which files belong there and which uses count as abuse.
Introduction
miHosting free hosting provides disk space for the files your website needs. Even when the service is described as offering broad storage, the usage must remain related to the real operation of the site.
It is not intended to be used as an external hard drive, a private backup repository, or a general file storage platform unrelated to the website.
What you can store
Within normal use, the plan can be used for:
- HTML, PHP, CSS and JavaScript files
- images and site resources
- WordPress themes and plugins
- databases and files linked to the site
- content needed for the project to work
What you should not do
It is not appropriate to use the service for:
- large external backups
- personal file storage unrelated to a site
- massive download libraries
- generic storage that has nothing to do with the hosted project
When a professional plan makes more sense
If your website starts growing, you upload lots of media, or you need more stability and control, a professional plan is usually the better choice. The same applies if the site already represents business activity.
Frequently asked questions
Is the space really unlimited
Usage must be understood as reasonable and connected to a real website. It is not an invitation to store anything without context.
Can I upload large videos or external backups
That is not the right use for a free account. For that, a more specific service or plan is better.
If I outgrow it, do I need to rebuild the site
No. In many cases, you can simply move up to a higher plan and keep the same project structure.
Conclusion
Disk space in free hosting should be used for your site and its real resources. If the project grows or you need more stable storage capacity, moving to a professional plan is the natural next step.
