			==What are the limits==
			*Each Hosting Customer is assigned a user account with a quota
			*Initial Quota value is to send a warning email when storage exceeds 10 GB, and deny storage that will exceed 12 GB
			**This value includes all content from all services under your user account, including your Web Site and any files being stored by the [[Fetch]] service
			***If you access your FTP account, the contents of all folders you see will be counted towards your quota
