Yeah, I think that it can't be larger than your storage quota (50 or 150 MB). You could probably request more disk space, but you shouldn't need it unless you have a forum like this running.
Before I choose Xisto or any other host:
I'm trying to figure out how much space I will need for my personal website.
It will have a Xoops/Wordpress-based blog, a Coppermine-style photo gallery, a guestbook module, a large link database (web directory with thousands of web links), and down the road I will try a Xoops forum module (for the experience, if nothing else).
To be more specific, I have almost 50 MB worth of photos to upload to a gallery (and need a little room for the future), but the forum requirements will be very small as membership will be invitation-only and limited to about 40 or 50 members at most.
I'm guessing that I will probably need the 150 MB storage quota. However...
1) Question: Do you think it's likely I will run out of even this much quota space in the forseeable future?
It is very encouraging to hear that Xisto does not have a specific limit on the MySQL database.
Most other free web hosts have a specific maximum file size limit, like either 8 MB or 10 MB.
2) Question: Does this mean that, even if they don't specifically state it, their MySQL database(s) are also limited to their maximum file size? This is not made very clear...
I was told that Xoops stores almost everything in the MySQL database - except for uploaded files and the index.
3) Question: Does this mean that photos uploaded to an image gallery are not stored in its MySQL database?
Quick Question Is there a limit on the size of the MySQL database?
