I've been contracted to work on a website. The bloody thing does not have ssh and the disk space is 500mb.

    Kill it before it lays eggs !!

    I've decided to migrate them to another server. I would've probably killed myself or someone in the process because I'm OCD and it would bug me.

    500 MB should be sufficient for anything that takes only one dev, and your IDE should handle connection/deployment fine... Is server setup a problem?

    @Flygger Just being curious, how many MB per dev is your rule of thumb?

    Personally, I've never measured the content size (database size, media etc) as a function of the number of devs. Thus my curiosity.

    Well, source should be small enough to fit into 500 mb. Media and stuff should be hosted on cloud anyways.

    @Flygger No SSH either. We normally host images on the server with each image having a few versions for srcsets. And the number of images are also likely to increase due to random gallery images. The website is for a conference.

    @Ubbe I've had a few cases where I went over a 1 Gb. With a collection of images, one such case was a website with responsive images. Some of the images had a 5k resolution for high resolution desktops.

    Still, never host your images. Actually, there are great services where you just request an image with size (and other) parameters.

    @WerewolfCustoms true actually. I've only learned about that recently. So I'll try that on future projects.

    @WerewolfCustoms I know of cloudinary. What other ones would you recommend?

    @stalinkay imgix is the one we use the most

    @WerewolfCustoms the pricing is on point. So I'm gonna check it out.

    @Grumpy I wouldn't set a size per dev, but at a certain size you would need a team to maintain any site
    @stalinkay no SSH doesn't have to be a problem or a sign of bad hosting or poor solutions, and normally I'd use tooling to abstract all connection and sync, so I don't have to bother with protocols and terminals ;)

    @Flygger I'm too used to SSH but I see that I can get things working deploying with FTP.
