Automated A2 Hosting Disk Usage Alerts
Every night, WebRun signs in to A2 Hosting, reads disk usage for each hosting account along with what is filling it up, saves the reading as a dated file in Google Drive, and writes a Notion warning naming any account close enough to full that writes could start failing.
How do I get warned before my hosting account runs out of disk space?
WebRun watches disk space on your A2 Hosting accounts every night. It reads each account's quota and usage, files the reading in Google Drive to show the growth rate, and writes a Notion warning naming any account near full, so logs get cleared before uploads and email start failing.
- Disk warnings arrive while there is still room to clear space
- Growth rate per account shows how many days are left
- No more discovering a full disk through bounced email

How is each run configured?
Secure by default
Connect once, stays signed in
WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it delete files to free up space?
No. WebRun reads usage and names what is filling the disk. Deleting logs, old backups, or mail is never done on its own, because a wrong deletion on a live host is not recoverable.
Can I set my own warning threshold?
Yes. Tell WebRun the percentage or the gigabytes left that should trigger a warning, and it applies that to every account. Many teams start at eighty percent used.
Does it upgrade my hosting plan if I run out?
No. Buying more disk is a spend decision, so WebRun only reports the shortfall and the days remaining. You place any upgrade yourself in the A2 Hosting client area.
