The disk space function displays the overall volume of data that you are able to have on the web hosting server at any given time. With a personal computer, for example, this would be the capacity of one hard drive or the overall volume of all the hard disk drives in case that the computer has more than a single one. The same way that the space on a home machine is shared between installed applications, docs, music files and the like, the server hdd space is usually shared between site files, databases and email messages. Every file, folder or e-mail will take some space on the server, therefore you should take into account various factors, not only the size of the files which you upload. For instance, receiving larger e-mail attachments or running a script-driven website where the user-generated content is saved in a database also affects the hdd space you're using.
Disk Space in Web Hosting
Our web hosting packages were created with the idea that deficiency of disk space should not be something that should obstruct the development of your sites. Which is why we've taken an approach which is not the same as the one that most website hosting companies use - rather than making a range of accounts using a singlle server and eventually running out of disk space, we work with a cloud hosting platform in which the storage is taken care of by an entire cluster of servers. That's why, we are able to connect more machines whenever they are needed and more hard disk drives, to provide additional disk space for all of the files of our valued clients. Individual clusters manage the e-mails and the databases, therefore not only is it possible to increase the size of your sites without worrying about hdd space, but also the servers will perform better and faster considering the fact that each service has its own space and an individual server does not handle different kinds of files.
Disk Space in Semi-dedicated Servers
With all of our semi-dedicated server packages, the hdd storage feature is unlimited, so that you'll be able to direct your attention to creating your web sites the way they should be and never worry about hitting a restriction. Unlike a variety of hosting providers that make accounts using one server, we use a custom cloud platform, that allows us to provide truly unrestricted disk storage for every single account. With just a single machine, there are only so many hard drives which you can use, not mentioning that the most widespread hosting Control Panels are not designed to function with numerous servers at the same time. Our platform, however, features clusters of servers for the website files, emails and databases, plus our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel was created to work with it. We can easily attach as many servers to any of the clusters as needed at any time, so the disk space is virtually inexhaustible.
Disk Space in VPS Servers
With all our VPS servers, we provide you with a lot of disk space for all of your content that matches the other server characteristics, which means that a higher package includes a higher allowance. You can use the storage space as you see fit, since there are no specific allocations for the website files, databases or emails - they all share the total hard disk space of the server. Still, when you'd rather have some limitations, you can acquire your VPS plan with cPanel or DirectAdmin as the hosting Control Panel, then you can generate web hosting accounts with a limited amount of hdd storage for each domain name that you host on your server. In case you need more storage at some point, you'll be able to easily update your plan with a few mouse-clicks and then the additional features will be included with your existing account, so that you will not need to migrate anything and your sites will stay up and running.
Disk Space in Dedicated Servers
When you use Linux dedicated service you'll get all the disk space that you'll need for your websites, databases, e-mail messages and apps. Hundreds of gigabytes of storage space will be available and not shared with anybody else, hence you are able to upload all of the data you would like - website files, personal or company archive backup copies, etcetera. You'll get a minimum of two separate hard disks that function well in RAID, so that one of the drives will mirror the other one in real time in order to make sure that your important data is always secured. If you like, you will be able to use the hard disks independent of each other and take advantage of the full space in any way you see fit. If required, you may also get extra hard disks linked to the server and have even more disk space. You'll have the option to make web hosting accounts with pre-set disk space allocations when you obtain the server with cPanel or DirectAdmin for the web hosting Control Panel. Using Hepsia, which is the third Control Panel option on the order page, all domain names hosted on your server will share the disk storage and they will be managed via a single account. Either way, our dedicated plans will meet all your requirements no matter what type of site you wish to host.
