The term "disk space" is oftentimes identified as "disk quota" or "data storage", however all these terms refer to the very same thing - the volume of information that you are able to upload to a shared hosting account. The overall size of everything you have is determined by accumulating the storage space used by the content within the account, the most obvious being the data files that you upload. Two other things are commonly ignored by a lot of people, though - emails and also databases. Sizeable attachments and databases of huge script-driven websites can sometimes use a lot of disk space as well. In order to employ a more recognizable analogy, the disk space of your computer system is taken not just by files that you download, but additionally by docs you generate and software programs you install. In the same way, many things are counted for the hdd space that your data takes on a website hosting server, not only the uploads.

Disk Space in Shared Hosting

In order to suit the processing power behind all of our cloud web hosting plans, we've studied and employed the very best solution regarding the disk space - your account will not be made on a single server, but using a cluster platform. As a result, what we've built is a whole group of servers that is dedicated to the file storing only, therefore you should never be worried about not having enough hard disk space and having to move to a new server as your existing one cannot accommodate more data. In the event that extra space is necessary, all we have to do is attach more machines to the cluster, so the disk space is virtually unlimited. Needless to say, all of our Linux shared hosting were made to be used for web sites, not for an archive of large files. We also have individual machines for the databases as well as the e-mails.
