: Are these technical reasons correct for not providing 1GB mailbox for each e-mail ID on shared hosting environment? Following is the response from the server space provider, I have got upon requesting

Sounds like you've exceeded your shared hosting capabilities. Your hosting provider uses hosted services to keep the costs down for everyone. Therefore they have to put resource limits on each account so that the resources are shared out equitably among all the accounts on the shared server. It's their server, and their ballcourt, so it doesn't matter what we think they can do, but how they plan to run their system for best response for the rest of their users on the server.

You have two options:


See if they have a higher service level that lets you do what you want.
The usual way of handling this is to move your email services to another system. Getting an email service provider that will provide you with 50GB of space per user also can get you on a system that has far better delivery of email, is not so likely to get blacklisted when one bad customer on the hosted server decides to spam everyone. .00 a month for each email account was a really good move for us because it allowed our company to send more email, receive larger attachments, and know that PSF, DKIM, DomainKeys records were processed to allow for a massive reduction in the bounce rate we were experiencing from having the email hosted through the shared server account we were using at the time.


To put it another way, the advantages of getting services that do what you need will pay off better than attempting to argue a service provider into doing something they haven't engineered the system to do.
