Disk Space
Learn what "disk space" refers to in the world of web hosting and what is the disk space quota for your needs.
The disk space feature displays the total capacity of info that you're able to have on your shared web hosting server at one time. With a desktop computer, for example, this would be the total size of one hard disk drive or the total capacity of all hard disks in case that the PC has more than 1. The same way that your space on a PC is shared between installed software, docs, your music etcetera, the server storage space is normally divided between website files, databases and e-mail messages. Every single file, folder and email message requires some disk space on the server, so you should consider numerous factors, not just the size of the files that you will upload. To give an example, getting sizable email attachments or having a script-driven website where the user-generated content material is saved in a database may also affect the space you are using.

Disk Space in Shared Web Hosting
All of our
shared web hosting packages were made with the idea that lack of disk space shouldn't be a thing that will stop the growth of your web sites. That's why we have applied a technique which is not the same as the one that most web hosting companies apply - instead of just creating countless accounts using a singlle server and subsequently running out of hard disk space, we work with a cloud hosting platform where the storage is handled by a large group of servers. As a result, we are able to install more machines whenever they are needed and / or more hard drives, so as to offer more disk space for the files of our customers. Different clusters handle your e-mail messages as well as your databases, consequently not only is it possible to increase the size of your websites without worrying about hard disk space, but also the servers will perform better and faster since each service does have its space for storing and a single server doesn't handle different kinds of files.
