In version 7 of RootsMagic, what is the size limit of personal family tree websites that can be published on MyRootsMagic.com?

[MarieCusack]

Also, I don't see much discussion or instructions about publishing to MyRootsMagic.com. Is this not a very popular feature? I'm new to the Roots Magic software and am wanting a way to share my family tree so relatives can access it read-only for free. I don't want to spend much/any time keeping the website updated so I can instead focus my time on updating the Roots Magic database. I would appreciate your advice on whether publishing to MyRootsMagic is worthwhile.

The storage limit on the server for all websites under one account is 200 MB. Media and database file count toward it.

I think the reason you don't find much discussion on MyRootsMagic is because we have a video that explains how it works.

TomH - Thank you for giving me the size limit of 200 MB. How many websites are allowed under one account?

 

Renee Zamora - Thank you for the link to the video. I would never have found it on my own and it has helpful information.

I don't think the number of websites is restricted other than by storage capacity. And remember that the image files you upload consume storage.

I remember reading somewhere that each user is limited to 2 websites. But I may be mis-remembering ....

Q. Has the 50MB limit been increased?

A. In RM6 you had a limit of 2 websites with the combined size limit of 50MB. In RM7 you can have up to 10 websites with a combined size limit of 100MB.

 

[Renee Zamora]

Publish Online has been updated to unlimited number of sites. Combined total size of sites to 200 MB.
