tigertech-announce Mailing List: Double the disk space now included in Tiger Technologies Web hosting plans

[Tiger Technologies (support]

This is an announcement from Tiger Technologies about our Web hosting 
service.

Effective September 1, we've increased the disk space included in our Web 
hosting plans -- our customers now get twice as much disk space at no 
extra charge.

Our Silver plan now includes 200 MB of disk space (instead of 100 MB), 
our Gold plan includes 400 MB (instead of 200 MB), and our Platinum plan 
includes 1 GB (instead of 500 MB). Current customers don't need to do 
anything to get the extra disk space; existing plans have been 
automatically adjusted.

We're also changing the way we calculate disk space slightly. We 
previously didn't include the space used by Web server log files or MySQL 
databases in your disk calculation; we now include the space these use. 
(The average customer usage for these is under 1 MB, and none of our 
customers use more space for these than the extra space we've added, so 
nobody is at a disadvantage because of this change. Your account 
management control panel can show the total amount of disk space you're 
using if you click "Billing and Contact Information", then "Account Usage 
and Estimated Charge".)

If you're interested, the size of Web server log files was originally not 
tracked because our customers didn't have direct access to them, and 
because we deleted them after 30 days. We gave our customers direct 
access to the files and stopped deleting old ones several years ago, but 
we never properly tracked the disk space they used. If you ever run out 
of disk space, and you don't care about your old Web statistics, and need 
to save a couple of MB, we can always delete older log files for you if 
you ask.

The disk space used by MySQL databases was previously not tracked due to 
a technical limitation, even though our documentation always said it was 
tracked.

We're glad to be able to improve the service we offer to our customers. 
As always, please let us know if you have any questions!
