Disk Space
Find out what "disk space" implies in the world of web hosting and what is the right disk space quota to meet your requirements.
Anytime you upload data on a web hosting server, it requires an amount of storage space on the hard disk drive dependent on its size. When you manage a script-driven site which stores its data in a database, it will take more disk space, the more people make use of it. For instance, if you have a message board, the greater number of comments people leave, the greater the database will get. Emails, especially ones having attachments, also take some space in the web hosting account. The hard disk space quota that you get with each shared hosting provider is the total amount of data you can have at any given moment, and this contains web site files, e-mails plus databases. Likewise, a home PC has a hdd and the software programs installed on it together with all of the docs and music files that you create or download require some disk space, which can't exceed the total capacity of your hard disk drive.
Disk Space in Shared Hosting
We've designed our shared hosting with the idea that the hdd space won't be a setback for your web sites. While many website hosting suppliers produce accounts using a single server, and as a matter of fact, the most widespread Control Panels are intended to function solely on this kind of platform, we have taken an alternative approach. We have groups of servers that take care of every element of the hosting service, so your files are stored on one cluster, your email on another one,the databases on a third one, etc. On this cloud platform we achieve a few things - the hdd space is virtually limitless because we can install as many servers and hard disk drives to the clusters as needed, and we improve the effectiveness of each machine as only one kind of processes will run on it. This custom-built setup will help you improve your web sites as you see fit without having to worry about not having enough hard disk storage.
