The disk space feature shows the overall amount of info that you're able to have on your shared website hosting server at any given time. With a desktop computer, for instance, this would be the size of your hard disk or the full capacity of all the hard drives in the event that the computer has more than just a single one. Exactly as your space on a PC is shared between installed software, documents, your music and so on, the server disk space is usually divided between internet site files, databases and e-mail messages. Each file, folder and email message takes a little space on your server, therefore you should think about a variety of factors, not only the size of the files that you upload. For instance, having sizable e-mail attachments or running a script-driven site where the user-generated data is saved in a database also affects the hdd space you're using.
