Disk usage can be monitored by logging in to konsoleH at regular intervals:

  1. Browse to konsoleH (http://myaccount.hetzner.co.za)
  2. Login with your Client number and Management password
  3. Select or search for a domain name in the ‘Hosting Service’ tab
  4. Click ‘Statistics & Reports’
  5. Select ‘Disk Usage’
  6. Click on ‘View the long-listing’ to get a snapshot of the total disk usage of your hosting account together with a summary of individual folder sizes.
  7. Depending on the number of items stored in your folders, it may take a few minutes for konsoleH to return your disk usage details.

Where applicable, clients are sent monthly emails from Hetzner notifying them of any domains that have exceeded the allocated disk space quota, providing an opportunity to reduce disk space or upgrade to a higher account in order to avoid unnecessary charges for over-usage.

Disk over-usage calculations are rounded down to the nearest 10MB.  eg. a Micro Pro account with a quota of 50MB is currently using 58MB of disk space, which is 8MB of over-usage.  Hetzner will not charge for this additional usage. However, should the customer increase usage to 61MB, Hetzner will round down the over-usage to 60MB and charge R5 for the extra 10MB block.

In order for Hetzner to operate with greater efficiency and for our clients to have the flexibility and control of actively managing their disk space, an automated system tracks, notifies and charges for over-usage. Independent of these notifications, customers should regularly monitor their disk usage via konsoleH.
