Disk Space
Learn what "disk space" means in the world of website hosting and what is the proper disk space quota for your requirements.
Each time you upload information on a web hosting server, you will need an amount of storage space on the hdd depending on its particular size. If you have a script-driven website which saves its info in a database, it will require more space, the more people use it. For instance, if you have a discussion board, the more opinions people write, the greater the database will be. E-mail messages, in particular ones having attachments, also require some disk space in the site hosting account. The hard disk space quota you will get with any shared website hosting provider is the total amount of information you could have at any moment, and it consists of web site files, email messages and databases. Similarly, a home PC has a hard drive and the computer software installed on it together with all the documents and music files that you generate or download take some storage, which cannot surpass the total capacity of your hard drive.

Disk Space in Shared Website Hosting
We have developed our
shared website hosting with the notion that the hdd storage won't be a problem for your websites. While many web hosting providers create accounts using one server, and in fact, the most famous Control Panels were made to function solely on this type of platform, we have applied a different approach. We have groups of servers that control every aspect of the hosting service, so your files are stored on a single cluster, the emails on another one,the databases on a third one, and so on. With this cloud platform we accomplish two things - the hard drive space is actually endless because we're able install as many servers and hard disk drives to our clusters as required, and we raise the performance of every single machine as only one kind of system processes will operate on it. This custom-made setup will enable you to extend your sites as much as you'd like without worrying about running out of hard drive space.
