Summary Storage
Flexible storage resources
Where is storage used?
Storage is used by data saved via upload or use of the service, namely:- Website code
- Databases
- Uploaded Data (content)
- Generated Data (caches, content, logs)
SSD vs NVMe Storage
All of purely.website’s hosting uses fast solid-state storage, but our different packages use different types to match performance needs.
- SSD (Solid State Drive) – Used on our Web packages, SSDs are a huge step up from traditional hard drives. They have no moving parts, making them faster, quieter, and more reliable for everyday website hosting.
- NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) – Used on our Business packages, NVMe drives are the next generation of SSD technology. They connect directly to the server’s high-speed PCIe interface, delivering much faster data transfer rates and lower latency. This means websites and applications load faster, especially when handling large databases or busy traffic.
In short: SSD is fast, NVMe is faster. Whichever you choose, you benefit from purely.website’s secure, high-performance storage.
How is storage calculated?
Each account comes with an inclusive summary storage quota, which is the total amount of data STORED within the account across all resources. For example, if your package includes 10GB of summary storage quota you could use:- 1GB web files + 9GB database.
- 1GB web files + 1GB database + 8 mailboxes each with 1GB stored.
- 1GB web files + 3GB database + 99 empty mailboxes and one with 6GB stored.
USAGE not ALLOCATION
We operate a flexible USAGE-based storage model where the storage quota/limit is what data you STORE/USE across all services resources.purely.website’s approach to storage:
