Disk Space
What is disk space? What is its place inside the hosting world?
Whenever you upload data on a web hosting server, you will need a certain amount of space on the hard disk drive depending on its particular overall size. In case you run a script-driven site which stores its information in a database, you will need more disk space, the more people make use of it. For example, if you have a community forum, the greater amount of opinions people leave, the bigger the database will get. Emails, in particular ones with attachments, also need some disk space in the web hosting account. The HDD space quota that you receive with any web hosting provider is the total amount of data you may have at any given moment, and it incorporates site files, emails plus databases. Likewise, a PC has a hdd and the software programs installed on it as well as all of the docs and / or music files that you make or download take some disk space, which cannot exceed the total capacity of your hard drive.

Disk Space in Web Hosting
In order to match the processing effectiveness behind our cloud web hosting plans, we've considered and applied the best possible solution regarding the disk space - your account is not created using just one server, but using a cluster system. For that reason, what we've built is an entire group of servers which is focused on the file storage only, therefore you should never worry about running out of HDD space and having to move to some additional server as your present one can't accommodate more content. If extra space is required, we simply attach extra machines to the cluster, so that the storage space is limitless. Needless to say, all of our
web hosting were made to be employed for websites, not for an archive of large files. We also have individual machines for all of the databases as well as the email messages.

Disk Space in Semi-dedicated Servers
With all our
semi-dedicated server plans, the hdd storage feature is unrestricted, so that you will be able to center on building your websites the way you like and never worry about getting to a limit. Unlike lots of hosting providers that make accounts on just a single server, we take advantage of an in-house made cloud platform, that allows us to offer truly limitless hard disk storage for every single account. With just a single machine, there's a restricted number of hard disks that can be used, not mentioning that the most widespread hosting Control Panels are not meant to function with a large number of servers simultaneously. Our platform, by contrast, employs clusters of servers for the web site files, emails and databases, and our custom-made Hepsia Control Panel was designed to work with it. We can connect as many servers to any of the clusters as needed at any time, so the hard disk space is practically inexhaustible.

Disk Space in VPS Servers
All our
VPS servers come with a great volume of hard disk storage so as to fulfill your needs and never limit the growth of your web sites. Of course, in order to manage a single resource-consuming web site or numerous smaller-sized ones, you'll require extra power as a whole, so the higher the VPS plan, the more disk storage you will get. Switching between the plans is very easy and the extra storage space will be included in your account without moving any data or stopping/restarting the server, so if you hit the storage limit of your existing package, you will be able to upgrade with a few mouse-clicks in your billing section. Since we offer several web hosting Control Panels for our virtual private servers, you will have two options for your disk space control - using Hepsia, all of the sites share the overall server space, while using cPanel and DirectAdmin you can create distinct accounts for the domains and create an allowance for every single account.

Disk Space in Dedicated Servers
With the disk space that we supply with all our
dedicated servers, we guarantee that you'll be able to operate every site irrespective of its size. You'll get at least 500 GB storage space, that you're able to employ as you see fit - even for private file storage. By default, you'll have two separate HDDs, which can be used independently, to use their total storage capacity, or they can be in RAID so that one will mirror the other one in real time to make sure that you won't waste important information in the event of a hardware malfunction. You'll also be given the opportunity to put more HDDs to upgrade the total disk space at your disposal even more. This makes it possible for you to build a file or image storage portal without a problem if you'd like. With the cPanel and DirectAdmin hosting Control Panels that we offer, you'll be able to set up an independent account for each and every site that you host on your server and define a quota for the storage it will be allowed to use. When you go for the 3rd alternative, our in-house made Hepsia Control Panel, all of the domains will be managed in one place and they will share the overall server disk space.
