What is Disk Space?

A lot of clients often wonder what is the disk space? Well disk space is the what’s set aside on the server to host your website. A website is made up of files and folders. Each file and folder takes up space, and the space it takes up is basically determined by the words, images, and code that is put together to make up your website.

So for example if your web page is an html web page, every line of code will take up “space” and count towards your disk space. So depending on how many web pages your website has will determine how much disk space you should purchase.

One thing to remember with disk space is that it is fixed and does not renew every month. So if you need more space you will typically need to purchase more space. Also adding a blog or forums to your website will also take up disk space.

Another thing to keep in mind, database driven websites like WordPress blogs takes up less disk space than a typical html website.
