What is Disk Space?
Disk Space is the storage capacity that you can use to store your data, including files, images, videos, web pages and applications. When you own a website or an online storage service, Disk Space is essential to ensure efficient data storage and retrieval.
Converting storage capacity units
In measuring storage capacity, we use different units such as byte (B), kilobyte (KB), megabyte (MB), gigabyte (GB) and terabyte (TB). Converting these units helps us better understand our storage capacity and usage. For example, 1 kilobyte is equivalent to 1024 bytes, 1 megabyte is equivalent to 1024 kilobytes, and so on.
Why do you need to control storage capacity?
Controlling storage capacity is extremely important because it directly affects your data access performance and speed. When your storage capacity is full, your website may run slowly or stop working completely, leading to loss of customers and revenue. Additionally, managing storage capacity also helps you save costs and optimize resource usage.

- The number and size of files you want to store on the website.

By calculating and estimating the above factors, you can determine the required storage capacity and choose a suitable hosting package to meet your needs.
