Hi
My web site is growing all the time and
i am conchus of space
For the free hosting account dose anyone know
what the max total of Mb thier is
Thanks
Bravenet's front page, before you log in, tells you that free hosting is limited to 50 MB. However, if you want to know how much space you have already used, that's another issue. You can simply go to the File Manager and add up all the file sizes. If you don't have too many, this isn't a big deal. If you have lots of files and folders, this can be a problem.
The only effictive way I found, to find out how much space you have used, is through FTP. A FTP connection reports back the number of files and disk space used. However, some FTP programs, like the Java Applet, hides the connection information. But a simple way is to use a command line FTP. Go to your "Start" menu and click on "Run". In the "Run" prompt enter "ftp freeftp.bravehost.com" and click OK. This should bring up a DOS window with a FTP session in it. Enter your Bravenet user ID number and password. The response will be similar to the listing below:

Your FTP login information is available by following the links "manage hosting" --> "ftp access" --> "ftp access".
The 50Mb free web hosting is big enough to contain several thousand web pages. Unless you write web pages full time this should be enough to last you for many years.
If you are filling the space quicker than this then your web pages are way too big.
Actually that's only partly true. If all you're doing is designing webpages then 50meg will last awhile, however if you're site has files attached to it that others can download, such as the one I'm working on (Flight Sim based) then 50 meg will not go very far at all. It can take just 2 or three aircraft files or scenery files, etc. and you've used up 50 meg without even trying.
