Checking disk and resource usage

Monitoring disk, bandwidth, CPU and memory limits.

Hosting and DirectAdmin ~1 min read Updated: 30.09.2026
  • The right side of the DirectAdmin home page shows disk, traffic, mailbox and database usage.
  • To see which folder takes up the most space, check folder sizes in File Manager.
  • If you hit CPU and RAM limits, the site may slow down or show a “508 Resource Limit” error.

To free up space

  • Delete old backups (the backups folder).
  • Clean out old messages with large attachments from your mailboxes.
  • Delete cache folders and unneeded log files.
If you keep hitting the limits, it’s time to upgrade your plan or move to a VPS.
