No inode limit on hosting accounts

[Jim]

Question - What is the Inode limit per account?

A.) We don't set quotas on inodes. An inode is basicly a technical name for a file. One email uses one inode on the disc. One html page is another inode etc...

We've been getting a few people on chat asking what the inode limit is, and more and more hosts are limiting the number of files they will host per account. This lets them advertise huge disc space quotas but limit the amount of files you can put in it.

With the way our servers are built and backed up inodes will never be an issue, and there is no reason to limit inodes. The main reason hosts limit inodes (files) is because they increase the time it takes to back up the servers every day. Our servers only back up what was added to the drive during that day, not everything on the drives all over again.
