Disk Space
What exactly is disk space? What is its place in the hosting world?
When you upload a file on a web hosting server, it requires some storage space on the hard disk depending on its overall size. In case you have a script-driven internet site which keeps its data in a database, it will need more disk space, the more people make use of it. For instance, in case you have a community forum, the more comments people leave, the bigger the database will be. Messages, in particular ones which have attachments, also take some space in the web hosting account. The HDD space quota that you get with any shared web hosting provider is the total amount of info you may have at any moment, which features site files, e-mail messages as well as databases. Similarly, a personal computer has a hard drive and the computer software installed on it along with all documents and / or music files that you generate or download require disk space, which cannot surpass the total capacity of the hard disk drive.

Disk Space in Shared Web Hosting
All our
shared web hosting packages were made with the idea that too little storage space should not be something that should reduce the growth of your web sites. Because of this we have used a technique which is more advanced than the one that most website hosting suppliers use - instead of just making a range of accounts on one server and subsequently not having enough storage space, we use a cloud hosting platform where the storage space is taken care of by an entire cluster of servers. That's why, we can always install more machines in case they're required or more hard disk drives, in order to provide extra disk space for all the files of our clients. Individual clusters manage the e-mails as well as your databases, therefore not only will you be able to increase the size of your websites not worrying about hard drive space, but also all the servers will perform better and faster because each and every service does have its space and one server does not handle different types of files.

Disk Space in Semi-dedicated Servers
With all our
semi-dedicated server plans, the disk capacity feature is not limited, so that you will be able to center on developing your websites the way you like and not worry about getting to some restriction. Unlike numerous hosting providers that create your accounts on one server, we take advantage of a custom-made cloud platform, that allows us to provide truly unlimited hard disk storage for each and every account. With a single machine, there're only so many hard disks which can be used, not mentioning that most of the hosting Control Panels weren't intended to function with a large number of servers concurrently. Our system, on the other hand, incorporates clusters of servers for the site files, emails and databases, plus our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel was designed to work with it. We can easily attach as many servers to each of the clusters as required at any given time, so that the disk space is virtually unlimited.

Disk Space in VPS Servers
Our
VPS servers come with a large volume of disk space in order to match all of your demands but not restrict the growth of your websites. Naturally, if you'd like to manage just a single resource-hungry website or a couple of smaller web sites, you'll require additional power altogether, so the higher the VPS plan, the more disk storage you'll get. Switching between the different plans is very easy and the additional space will be added to your account without migrating any content or stopping/restarting your server, so when you hit the storage limit of your present package, you can always upgrade with a few mouse-clicks in your billing panel. As we supply several hosting Control Panels for our virtual private servers, you are given two options for your disk space management - using Hepsia, all of the web sites share the entire server space, while using DirectAdmin and cPanel you are able to create distinct accounts for the domains and set up an allowance for every account.

Disk Space in Dedicated Servers
With our
Linux dedicated service you will get all of the storage space that you may need for your web sites, databases, e-mail messages and applications. Hundreds of gigabytes of storage space will be available and not shared with anyone else, so you are able to upload all of the info you need - site files, personal or company archive backup copies, and so on. You will get at least two hard disks that function well in RAID, so that one drive will mirror the other one in real time to make sure that your important content is always protected. If you prefer, you can use the hard drives independent of each other and employ the full space in any way you see fit. If needed, you'll be able to get additional hard disks connected to your server to get even additional disk space. You will have the option to create web hosting accounts with pre-defined hdd storage quotas if you obtain the server with cPanel or DirectAdmin for the website hosting Control Panel. Choosing Hepsia, which is the 3rd Control Panel option on the order page, all domain names hosted on the server will share the HDD storage space and they'll be managed through one account. Either way, our dedicated packages will meet all your needs no matter what type of web site you wish to host.
