The term "disk space" is sometimes called "disk quota" or "data storage", still all these words mean exactly the same thing - the volume of info that you are able to upload to a shared website hosting account. The overall size of what you have is calculated by accumulating the storage space taken by all of the content within your account, the most obvious being the types of files that you upload. Two other things can often be ignored by a lot of end users, though - email messages and databases. Large attachments or databases of big script-driven sites can often take a lot of storage space as well. To use a more common analogy, the hdd space of your home computer is used not just by files that you download, but also by documents you make as well as programs you install. Similarly, many things are counted towards the hard disk space your information uses on a website hosting server, in addition to the uploads.

Disk Space in Shared Website Hosting

We have designed our Linux shared website hosting packages with the notion that the hard disk storage won't be a setback for your websites. While many web hosting providers create accounts using a single server, and as a matter of fact, the most famous Control Panels were made to operate solely on this kind of platform, we have used a completely different strategy. We have clusters of servers that manage every single part of the hosting service, which means that your files will be stored on one cluster, your email on a different one,the databases on a third one, etc. On this cloud platform we achieve a couple of things - the storage space is actually infinite considering that we can easily add as many servers and hard disks to our clusters as required, and we raise the effectiveness of every single machine because only one kind of processes will run on it. This custom-built setup will allow you to develop your web sites as you see fit without having to worry about running out of disk space.
