du -sh /var/www/vhosts/*/ 2>/dev/null | sort -rh | head -20

Calculates the size of each subscription directory under /var/www/vhosts and lists the largest first. Useful when the disk is filling up and you need to find out quickly which webspace is responsible.

Note: The system folder contains the logs of all domains and can grow large as well. Mailboxes are not stored here but under /var/qmail/mailnames.
