Powered by Network Solutions: How to increase PHP upload size limits

If your website needs to upload bigger files or several files at once, you may need to change your PHP upload limits. This includes settings for the maximum file size and number of files you can upload. In this guide, we’ll show you how to update these limits easily from your Network Solutions hosting account.

1. Log in to your account via https://www.networksolutions.com/my-account/login.
2. Click Websites & Hosting from the left navigation menu.
   
    
3. If you have a single website builder in the account, you will be redirected to the Website Builder dashboard. If you have multiple website builder accounts, click the Manage button on the respective website package that you need to access.
   
   
    
4. Click Scripting Config in the left menu.
   
   
    
5. In the SCRIPTING CONFIGURATION page, select and click Manage PHP Scripting under the PHP Scripting section.
   
   
    
6. Under ACTIONS, click Manage php.ini.
   
   
    
7. Locate the following blocks of code within your php.ini file:
   
   
    
   Maximum size of POST data that PHP will accept: post_max_size = 20M
   Maximum allowed size for uploaded files: upload_max_filesize = 20M
   Maximum number of files that can be uploaded via a single request: max_file_uploads = 20
    
   • Modify the highlighted value for post_max_size as desired (for example, 30M, 40M, or 50M).
   • Modify the highlighted value for upload_max_filesize as desired (for example, 30M, 40M, or 50M). This value should not be larger than the post_max_size value.
   • Modify the highlighted value for max_file_uploads as desired (for example, 30, 40, or 50).
      
8. Once done, click Save.

Review

You can easily increase your PHP upload limits in Network Solutions by logging in to your account, going to Scripting Config, and opening Manage php.ini. There, you’ll see three settings: post_max_size (total upload size allowed), upload_max_filesize (max size for one file), and max_file_uploads (number of files you can upload at once). Change the numbers to what you need—just make sure upload_max_filesize is not bigger than post_max_size—then save your changes. Your new limits will be applied right away, letting you upload larger files or more files at once without issues.
