1 GB of storage, 250 GB of bandwidth a month, 25 MB per file, about 20,000 files per site — the real numbers, and what happens if you get close to any of them.
Every Lemonade Host site runs under the same limits, listed below with no rounding hidden behind the word "generous." Almost no real site meets them — they exist so the service stays healthy at 99¢ a month for everyone on it.
| Limit | Amount |
|---|---|
| Storage | 1 GB per site |
| Bandwidth | 250 GB a month per site, fair use applies |
| Maximum file size | 25 MB per individual file |
| Maximum file count | Approximately 20,000 files per site |
| Deploys | Approximately 100 per day per site |
The full, formal version of these numbers — including how they're enforced — lives in the acceptable use policy. See them next to the price itself on the pricing page.
1 GB of storage holds a genuinely large amount of static content — most portfolio and brochure sites use a small fraction of it, even with a full set of images. 250 GB of bandwidth a month covers the traffic for those same sites many times over; if a site is doing meaningful numbers, look at image sizes before worrying about the ceiling.
25 MB per file comfortably covers a photo, a short video clip, or a font — anything bigger belongs on a service built for large media, linked in from your site rather than hosted on it. About 20,000 files per site is enough for a large gallery or a generated documentation set without counting them by hand. About 100 deploys a day is plenty of room to fix a typo five times before lunch — it exists to keep the deploy queue moving for everyone, not to slow down any one site.
Fair use applies on top of the 250 GB bandwidth allowance. In plain terms: the traffic should look like a normal site being visited by people, rather than being used to distribute files at volume — a video CDN, a file-sharing hub, or a hotlinked image host for other sites. If a site is quietly using far more than a typical site its size, that's what fair use is checking for, not day-to-day traffic spikes from real visitors.
Nothing switches off silently, and there's no automatic overage charge. If a site is approaching a limit, we email the account holder before anything changes, so there's a chance to act — remove unused files, optimize images, or talk to us — before the site is affected. The numbers above describe the normal, expected ceiling, not a target to push against on purpose.
