The disk space feature shows the full amount of data that you could have on your shared website hosting server at a time. With a desktop computer, for example, this would be the overall size of your hard disk or the overall size of all of the hard drives in case that the computer has more than a single one. Exactly as the space on a PC is divided between installed software, docs, music files and the like, the server disk space is usually shared between site files, databases and emails. Every single file, folder or email message will take some space on the server, and that means you should take into account quite a few factors, not just the size of the files that you will upload. For instance, having larger e-mail attachments or using a script-driven internet site where the user-generated data is saved in a database may also affect the hdd space you are using.
Disk Space in Shared Website Hosting
Our shared website hosting packages were made with the concept that lack of hard disk space should not be something that will prevent the progress of your web sites. That is why we've applied a technique which is distinct from the one that most web hosting providers use - instead of just making a variety of accounts using one server and subsequently not having enough storage space, we use a cloud hosting platform in which the storage space is taken care of by a large group of servers. Thus, we can attach more machines if they are necessary and / or more hard disk drives, so as to provide additional disk space for the files of our valued customers. Individual clusters manage your email messages as well as the databases, so not only are you able to develop your websites not worrying about storage space, but also the servers will function faster and better owing to the fact that every service does have its space and a single server does not handle different types of files.
