<p>Bluehost applies certain server resource limitations and usage limits to help ensure reliable performance and a stable hosting environment for all users. These thresholds are designed to prevent individual accounts from degrading server performance.</p>

</ul>

<h3><a id="file-count"></a>File Count (Inodes)</h3>

<p>Each file and folder on your hosting account counts as an inode. Bluehost allows a maximum of 200,000 inodes per account. Accounts exceeding this limit may experience slower performance, impacting the server’s efficiency.</p>

<p>Refer to the <a href="https://www.bluehost.com/help/article/hosting-inode-limits" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Hosting Inode Limit</a> guide to understand that the inode limit is essential in web hosting.&nbsp;</p>

<h4>Why this matters</h4>

<p>Large inode counts can cause backups, file management, and other server operations to slow down or fail.</p>

<h3><a id="database-size-limits"></a>Database Size and Table Limits</h3>

<p>Excessive database tables can hinder server performance. To maintain optimal server performance, Bluehost sets the following database size and table limits:</p>

<ul>
	<li>Up to 5,000 tables or 10GB total database usage across all databases</li>
	<li>Up to 5,000 tables or 5GB per individual/single database</li>
</ul>

<div class="callout-content">
<p><strong>Note:</strong>&nbsp;Regularly clean up unused plugins or optimize database structures to stay within this limit.</p>
</div>
</div>

<p>Exceeding these sizes may slow down site performance and affect other users in shared hosting environments.</p>

<p>Refer to the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bluehost.com/help/article/database-limits">Database Limits</a>&nbsp;guide to understand database limits, their significance, and how to optimize them to prevent any issues.</p>

<h2><a id="what-happens-if-exceed-limits"></a>What Happens If You Exceed These Limits?</h2>

<p>If your account surpasses these resource thresholds, Bluehost may request that you reduce your usage to meet acceptable limits. In some cases, accounts may be suspended or terminated if excessive usage continues to degrade server performance.</p>

<p>We recommend routinely monitoring your inode count and database usage through your hosting dashboard and performing regular cleanups.</p>
