Blog Overview
I started blogging again in July 2023 after some job changes and my children growing up which gave me a lot more discretionary time. I do this for me, but I hope some others find my posts interesting or useful in some way.Teaser Image
Post Content & Images
There is a soft limit of 1,000,000 files for my Shared Hosting Account. My previous business had a Virtual Private Server, where this wasn't an issue, but I have now exceeded the 1,000,000 files, without any repercusions (YET!). So I am going to have to deal with this now moving forward.....

I Had a Long Chat with HostGator
With my development of myfootballtoolbox.com, I kept a structure as I like it with a ton of folders and text files. Since there is so much data, I racked up a bunch of files, yep, over 1,000,000 now with all of my assets. They said this was going to be an issue, but it hasn't yet, but I worry the day when they shut down my uploads, and I am at a standstill. I have a few ideas for what I am going to do next, so keep posted.
