Server Storage upgrade #582

Describe the feature My suggestion is a storage expansion. I am not talking about the minehut server capacity, which is 18,000 at the moment. Currently we can use up to 20GB of data storage on our servers, which is just too little for most server gamemodes. As far as I know storage is not even that pricy (might be wrong). Something like storage upgrades per plan, for example MH20 has 40GB, MH35 - 90GB, and so on. For my server, which is an smp this feature is the best thing that could happen. It being an smp the world is being explored a lot and worlds on minecraft take up a bunch of space, and after almost 2 weeks I took up 16GB, my server being with a constant 10-20 playerbase online. I cannot just reset the world every week. Also a way to tell how much storage you took is a feature we need. Something like a percentage bar to know when you're nearing the limit. For example 10GB/20GB 50% left! Also, you could tell me that we track our unused loaded region files on our world file and delte them to gain space but that's just not possible on minehut. It takes ages to even load that regions folder, but opening and deleting them is just way to difficult making it impossible

How the feature is useful This feature benefits both minehut and players/cusstomers aswell. Firstly, I know a few people that always told me to not make a smp server on minehut, because I will have to deal with issues like this, and all of them wouldn't make a server on minehut just because they don't wanna deal with a storage cap. If you add a storage expansion you would allow us to create multiple types of gamemodes which would result in a bigger diversity on minehut, we could go outside all the gen/skymining server genre and create various prison, smps servers. It will obviously benefit the players because we wouldn't be so limited and wouldn't have to worry about the storage and we will be free to create any gamemode we would want. That could also be a choice for the custom plans everyone was talking about on the discord meta server.

This is a beautiful feature suggestion. However, the one problem that might arise is of a plan degrade, which lowers the storage limit. This could be bad if the server’s size is larger than the actual server storage capacity.

Instead of making this server plan dependent, how about making this similar to how server icons work (manually purchasing more server storage capacity)?
