    Can someone please tell me how much server space is required, for installing and using modx? I have a client which has purchased shared hosting and the server space is 100MB. My client will have about 9 pages, with mainly images on most pages. Thanks in advance.

      The default install is under 10MB (Evo or Revo) if I recall correctly. 100MB should be more than enough, granted 100MB of shared hosting is rare these days. Are you sure it’s not 100GB?

      Oh, and MODx stores pages and such in the DB so the only real additional files are images, css, pdfs, or other files you add.

        Don’t forget that usually the domain’s database files are included in their disk space usage, so just putting stuff in the database won’t reduce disk usage.

        I have one site with lots of product pages and a lot of images; it takes up less than 30Mb, including the database files.
