The guy that pays for hosting is not around but he still pays for it. I don't have any contact information for him. I do have access to the forum host admin.
It is very commendable that the person continues to finance the hosting, but this is also a risky situation. If the server goes down, it would be difficult to restore it without direct contact.
Perhaps we could contact the provider and ask them to forward an email to the operator? A suggestion for the message could read like this:
‘Dear Sponsor, we appreciate you continuing to sponsor the hosting of the web server. However, a lot has changed in recent years and we would like to update the system. However, we are missing certain credentials (usernames and passwords) to do this. We would like to politely ask you if you are in possession of this data and could provide us with access if necessary.
Our aim is to bring the website (
linuxcnc.org/
), the wiki and the forum up to date and to ensure that everything works without errors.
We would be very pleased to receive positive feedback.

If you mean the storage space on the server, I assume (my English is not perfect, but if I have understood the hoster correctly) that we will be permanently at about 95%. The hoster dynamically provides exactly as much memory as is currently needed and automatically expands it as required.
Nevertheless, it would be helpful to know how many GB of memory we are currently using. Of course, a little tidying up never hurts!
