The term "disk space" is sometimes labeled as "disk quota" or "data storage", however all these words mean the very same thing - the amount of data that you'll be able to upload to a shared web hosting account. The overall size of what you have is determined by accumulating the space used by all of the content in the account, the most obvious being the files that you upload. Two more things are frequently forgotten by various people, though - e-mail messages along with databases. Sizable attachments or databases of big script-driven websites will often use a lot of disk space too. In order to use a more common analogy, the hard drive space of your personal computer is used not just by files you download, but additionally by docs you make as well as software programs you install. Likewise, various things are counted for the hard disk space your data takes on a web hosting server, not just the uploads.
Disk Space in Shared Web Hosting
We've designed our Linux shared web hosting packages with the concept that the hard disk storage should not be a setback for your sites. While many web hosting providers generate accounts on a single server, and as a matter of fact, the most famous Control Panels are made to run solely on this type of platform, we have applied a completely different strategy. We have groups of servers that take care of each part of the hosting service, so your files will be stored on a single cluster, your email on a different one,the databases using a third one, etc. Through this cloud platform we accomplish two things - the hard disk space is virtually infinite for the reason that we are able to add as many servers and hard disks to the clusters as required, and we raise the efficiency of every machine because just a single kind of processes will operate on it. This custom-built setup will help you enlarge your websites as you see fit without having to worry about running out of hard drive space.
Disk Space in Dedicated Servers Hosting
With all the hdd storage that we provide with all of our Linux dedicated servers hosting packages, we warrant that you'll be able to run any kind of site regardless of its capacity. You'll receive no less than 500 GB storage space, that you can use as you see fit - even for private file storage. By default, you'll get two hard disks, that can be used independent of each other, to make use of their full storage space, or they can be connected in RAID and one will be a duplicate the other in real time to make sure that you'll not lose precious data in case of a hardware failure. You'll also be given the option to put additional hard disks to increase the full hard disk space available even further. This makes it possible for you to build a file or image depository portal without a problem if you would like. With the cPanel hosting Control Panels that we offer, you can set up a separate account for each and every website that you host on the server and pre-define a quota for the storage space it will use. If you choose the third option, our in-house Hepsia Control Panel, all domains will be managed in one place and they'll share the entire server disk storage space.
