Can I really host 10 sites on 25GB with this plan?

I recently got a WordPress hosting plan from a popular company (not sure if I’m allowed to mention the name).

The plan says I can create 10 websites and I get 25GB of storage.

My question is, can I actually host 10 websites with this plan or are they overstating? Also, is 25GB enough for 10 WordPress sites on average?

Looking forward to some advice!

Yes, you can host 10 websites with that plan.

For most average WordPress sites, 25GB is usually enough, just keep an eye on how much storage you’re using so you don’t run out of space.

Don’t focus too much on the storage space. What’s more important is throttling. Things like I/O usage, processes, memory, and CPU will be the real limit when you try running 10 websites on that plan.

So if all the sites get decent traffic, the processing power is what could hold them back?

Exactly. I’ve been in support for hosting for 20 years, and that’s almost always the biggest issue. It’s not the space that’s the problem, it’s the server resources.

Totally agree with LYC. I’ve seen hosting plans that couldn’t handle 3 concurrent users on a WordPress site with no caching. They crashed when bots started crawling the site.

Yes, you’ll be able to host 10 sites under the 25GB limit.

2.5GB per site is more than enough for a well-optimized WordPress site.

The real issue isn’t usually the file size limit. It’s the number of files and directories (inodes) that can be the problem.

I’ve had this issue myself when building WooCommerce sites because they tend to be file-heavy. You might run into inode limits before you actually run out of space.

Exactly! I’ve experienced this too. You might hit the inode limit before the space limit.

Yes, you can host up to 10 websites under the 25GB limit. That’s more than enough storage for 10 WordPress sites.

Yep, you can host 10 sites, and a typical WordPress site is usually around 2GB or less, so you should be fine.

Those specs should work, but a lot depends on the host.

Feel free to name the hosting company. You might get some good advice or feedback based on others’ experiences.

Just because it’s well-known doesn’t always mean it’s good.

Thanks for that! It’s Hostinger.

Haha, I’m using a shared hosting plan from an Indian company, and they offer 100GB SSD storage with the ability to host 10 sites. I’ve got 5 sites on it right now.

Which hosting company are you using?

25GB is usually more than enough for websites, but don’t forget that email accounts also share this storage. If any of your clients are going to use email, that space can fill up quickly, especially over time.
