The disk space feature displays the full capacity of info that you're able to have on the website hosting server at any time. With a personal computer, for example, this is the capacity of a single hdd or the full capacity of all hard drives in case that the computer has more than one. Exactly as the space on a personal computer is shared between installed software, documents, music files etcetera, the server disk space is typically divided between internet site files, databases and email messages. Every file, folder or email takes a little disk space on your server, and that means you should take into account quite a few factors, not just the size of the files which you upload. For example, receiving large email attachments or running a script-driven website in which the user-generated info is saved in a database may also affect the space you are using.
Disk Space in Website Hosting
We have designed our Linux website hosting with the concept that the hard disk storage should never be a problem for your web sites. While many hosting suppliers set up accounts using one server, and as a matter of fact, the most widespread Control Panels are designed to function solely on this type of platform, we've used a different strategy. We have clusters of servers that take care of every single part of the hosting service, so that your files will be stored on one cluster, the emails on another,the databases using a third one, etc. With this cloud platform we achieve a few things - the hard drive space is actually limitless since we can add as many servers and hard disks to the clusters as needed, and we improve the effectiveness of each machine since just one kind of system processes will operate on it. This custom-made setup will allow you to improve your sites as you see fit without having to worry about running out of hdd space.
Disk Space in Dedicated Hosting
All our Linux dedicated hosting include multiple hard disk drives in order to suit the computing power that you will get, therefore you will never need to be worried about running out of hdd space. The drives can function in RAID, which means that a drive can be used as a copy of another so as to ensure that all of your data will always be protected, or you can use it on its own for even greater overall storage capacity. Many hundreds of gigabytes of hard disk storage will be at your disposal at all times, thus you'll be able to operate huge web sites, upload large files or even copy your archive. As a dedicated server is the most powerful form of web hosting, you can upload/download files with very quick speeds. When required, we also give you the option to add more drives and make use of even additional space for your data. We offer three hosting Control Panels with our dedicated servers - using Hepsia, all of your domains will share the overall server space and they will be managed from a single place, while with cPanel you'll have the alternative to generate individual web hosting accounts with pre-selected disk space allocations for every single domain hosted on your server.
