With today’s technology, digital cameras (even point and shoot) are taking 1, 2, and 3 MB images. This can pose a challenge if you web host limits how much you can upload.

Hostgator by default limits this to 2MB. A little secret is that actually allow up to 10MB. All you need to is add a few lines to your php.ini file.

Hostgator php.ini

Hostgator php.ini

You php.ini file should be located in the root when you first log in via FTP. You’ll need to download that file and edit it using notepad. Add the end you’ll need to add these two lines…

upload_max_filesize = 10M
post_max_size = 10M

Hostgator Max File Size

Hostgator Max File Size

Save that file and upload back to the root directory and you’re set!
