Increasing inodes

An inode is a file system object that contains information about a file or directory (each file or directory is 1 inode, regardless of their size). On regular hosting, in current tariffs, the inode limit can be from 200,000 to 400,000. On business hosting, the inode limit is limited only by the Linux file system (about 1 million inodes are available for every 16 GB of disk space).

First of all, check if your hosting account has unnecessary files and directories that can be safely deleted. Removing unnecessary files and directories will free up the inodes they occupy. To determine which directory or site is taking up the most space or inodes, you can use:

If deleting files and directories is not possible, you can increase the number of inodes.
