Hosting Storage

Storage refers to the amount of content and documents you can store on your server.

Storage Size

Normally, websites do not have a tremendous amount of storage requirements, but you might find this to be an issue if you’re hosting massive or video images or user info. We do recommend using a minimum of 20 gigabytes (GB) of storage available for your web server.

Regular Hard Drives vs. SSD

There are two types of drives these days. The typical hard drives are often just known as say, “20GB Storage” The kind of drive is referred. These drives are usually faster than standard hard drives and you’ll probably see them listed as “20GB SSD”.

Advanced Configurations and RAID

Additionally, as you get to more complex and more There are options for disk configurations. These configurations must do with ensuring a single disk failure doesn’t compromise your system and/or to raise the read and write speed of this drive.

There is a Technology known as RAID (redundant array of inexpensive disks) that sets many hard drives into one logical drive. Below we’ve summarized. If you do not understand this, do not worry. For selecting a hosting company, it makes little difference. We want you to know about these terms in case they are seen by you.

RAID 0

Uses two or more drives to parallelize writing to discs. This is known as “striping.”

RAID 1

When two or more drives maintain copies of this is the data. Each writes to a single driveway is currently writing the information. This is called “mirroring.”

RAID 5

This is kind of a combination of RAID 0 and RAID 1. Three Or more drives are used to increase the speed and mirror the drives. You’ll encounter RAID 5 used in production.
