In the most basic sense, an inode is “a data structure … that stores … information about a file [or directory] except its name and its actual data” (“Inode Definition”). This essentially means that an inode represents any one file or any one directory. For example, a file in a directory totals two inodes.

Why do I have a limited number of inodes?

We limit the amount of inodes because we need our servers to stay fast, reliable, and free of spam for all of our customers. Currently, all accounts are limited to 30,019 inodes.

How can I get more indoes?

If you require more than 30,019 inodes, please consider upgrading your account to premium, where you get many more.
