Disk Space

Every time you upload information on a web hosting server, it will take some space on the hard drive depending on its overall size. When you operate a script-driven website which saves its data in a database, it will require more space, the more people work with it. For instance, in the event that you have a discussion forum, the greater number of opinions people share, the larger the database shall get. E-mails, especially ones with attachments, also take some space in the site hosting account. The disk space quota that you get with any hosting provider is the full amount of data you may have at any given moment, and it consists of site files, emails plus databases. Similarly, a home computer has a hard drive and the software programs installed on it together with all of the documents and music files that you generate or download take some storage space, which cannot exceed the total capacity of your hard disk drive.
