Automated HostPapa Usage Limit Alerts
Every morning, WebRun opens the HostPapa control panel, reads disk and bandwidth usage across every hosting account against the plan's limits, sends you a Twilio text naming any account crossing 85 percent of either limit, and archives the day's full usage report as a file in Google Drive.
How do I avoid a HostPapa hosting limit taking my site down?
Every morning, WebRun checks disk and bandwidth usage on every HostPapa hosting account against the plan's limits. It sends you a Twilio text naming any account crossing 85 percent of either limit and archives the day's full usage report to Google Drive, so a plan cap never takes a site offline without warning.
- A usage warning arrives while there is still time to act, not after downtime
- Every account gets checked daily, not just the ones you remember to look at
- A dated archive builds a usage history without any manual export
Built for small business owners · web agencies · HostPapa resellers · site administrators

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
Does it upgrade the plan or free up disk space itself?
No. WebRun only reads usage and reports it. Upgrading a plan or freeing disk space always stays your decision in HostPapa.
Why 85 percent as the alert threshold?
It gives enough runway to act before a plan cap actually takes the site offline. You can adjust the threshold if you want an earlier or later warning.
Is every account checked, or only ones I flag?
Every hosting account on the HostPapa login gets checked each morning, so nothing gets missed because it was set up a while ago.
