[Hosting] Storage + Emails

2

We would like to see an Option to keep the Hosting Plan as is but add more Storage for a Fee

Example: Bronze comes with 25GB, I want to keep it Bronze but I need an additional 5GB or 10 GB in Storage

– ALSO email should really be IMAP with ability to get more than 10 for a fee – Example first 10 are FREE additional email are 5$ per year

    Hi Walid

    I hope you’re well today!

    As for adding storage: this is something that was suggested to us a few times in the past but due the infrastructure configuration is not currently possible – only change of plan is possible. It may be changed in future but we are also looking into options to integrate directly another solution that would let you increase storage but for uploads only. Yet, that’s not yet set in stone – we are reviewing possible options as we know ability to add storage space without changing plan would be handy. However, I don’t have more details on that to share yet and definitely no ETA at the moment.

    As for IMAP:

    Here I have some good news for you, I believe. We are already working on that – full IMAP support with ability to add multiple e-mail accounts, each with its own separate storage quota. This is already in development. I don’t have ETA as well but I can confirm it is coming (relatively) soon.

    Best regards,
    Adam

    Hi Walid/Adam,
    I believe as I’m sure the majority would agree that these dynamic options should be in place already for any modern hosting company.
    I’m a bit surprised that the infrastructure configuration would not be able to handle dynamic storage capabilities. Surely this would have been a requirement from the start of the hosting project? I can’t imagine that nobody thought of this during the analysis phase. :astonished:
    We definitely need full IMAP capabilities, email add-ons and flexible storage for uploads (for a fee) – and for us, in that order of priority.
    Hope it’s soon because I’m struggling to find a reason to move all our hosting accounts to WPMUDEV without these capabilities.
    Thanks
    Andre
