Disk Space

Disk space refers to the amount of storage you are allocated on the web server or mail server to store your website, files, and emails.  Disk space is measured in MB (Megabytes) or even TB (Terabytes).  For example, Matt’s hosting account gives him 100MB of disk space, while Kevin has a whopping 500MB of disk space… Kevin is 5 times happier than Matt.  Joking aside, it’s ironic that however much disk space the hosting providers feature on their service plan, the average web site probably doesn’t use any more than 50MB.
