Hello,
my question is if i buy a vps server with 50GB hard drive space.
and use it as a fileserver could i only have 50GB consisting out of files on my fileserver? or does it mean only for storage of the script (website).
Because i want to give my costumers 10GB Storage space on their accounts
and for example i have like 500.000 daily pageviews.
could u please give me answers or solutions ?
Thanks.

i do not complete understand what you mean
if you got a hd of 50GB then you can max use 50GB of storage ( - space of website and linux ofcourse , so about 45 GB can be used for files)
you can never go over your hd limit as it is not possible to store more then you have
the script itself checks on the filesize what amount a user have
like i do on my account , i assigned myself 100TB of file storage when i got only a 1TB hd
but as soon i used 1TB hd then my hd is full and will it not store anymore
so to answer your question , you are only limited on storage space and the script checks the size of files by the database and not with the files stored

no ,
as i explained
i assigned myself 100TB ( 100 000 GB ) but i got only 1TB hd
the script checks the database to calculate the used amount
but if you got only 50GB hd , then you can assign as mutch as you like but you wont be able to use more then 50GB hd
let me provide a example
1hd of 50GB
10 users of 10GB = 100GB
all is fine until your hd of 50GB is full
if full => error no more room to store files
the hd that the script use and your own hd has nothing to do with each other
the limit just prevent you from uploading files to your account
but does not limit the upload in global
but if you got 10 premium members and you assign then 100GB , then why would you only use a 50GB hd ?? , they will complain to you then
