Proper Plan Storage Scaling

Feature Request

Background:
Currently, each plans only have 100 GB storage (soft) limit, whether it’s a:
- 4 GB RAM plan that wouldn’t expect to use that much storage, or
- 32 GB RAM plan that expect having multiple huge worlds and/or data to take up more than 100 GB of the disk.

Problem:
Sure, they can request more storage limit by opening a ticket, but that’s a lot of extra steps just to get your basic storage needs. Reduce friction for users.

Some people also expect to see proper storage limit on the plans before buying it, if they don’t see the limit, they can get suspicious and turns away from buying. Transparency builds trust.

Solution:
We should implement proper scaling so it’s FAIR for each plan as they require different storage needs.

Example:
- 4 GB RAM plan get 60 GB storage
- 32 GB RAM plan get 480 GB storage

Pros:
- Fair resource allocation across plans

- Better user experience (no support tickets)

- Higher trust and transparency

- Improved sales and conversion

- Lower support workload
- Easier backend planning

Note:
- Make sure legacy plans are handled gracefully. Either grandfather them in or provide easy migration paths for users.
- You might also want to do the same with the CPU count. Be transparent about it so users can trust you more.

    Jumping in with this Storage scaling feedback.

    The main reason why we transferred from other hosting provider to Ultraservers is due to how storage works with Ultraservers. I understand it provides an extra steps for us to get the storage needs. But that’s a window to explain or to provide more information why you need the extra storage. Basically, other hosting providers only provide specific storage and that’s the hard limit, but here, you can request beyond the regular storage and explain why you need it.

    How storage works today is great and offers leverage to users which needs extra storage.

      Good point, but I’ve tried some other hosts too, they put scaled storage limit on each plan and are clear about them, while I can still request storage limit expansion for my servers, so it’s not unique to UltraServers.
