SSD stands for Solid State Drive. Unlike traditional hard drives (HDDs) that use spinning magnetic disks, SSDs store data on flash memory chips — similar to your phone's storage. All Vumacloud hosting plans use SSD storage.
What it means for your website
- Faster page loads — your website files and database are read much faster, reducing server response time significantly.
- Better database performance — WordPress, WooCommerce, and other database-driven apps run noticeably faster.
- Improved reliability — SSDs have no moving parts and are less susceptible to failure.
How much storage do I need?
- 10 GB (Starter) — enough for a typical brochure site, blog, or portfolio with hundreds of images.
- 50 GB (Growth) — comfortable for most small businesses, including online shops with large product catalogs.
- 200 GB (Pro) — suited for agencies managing many client sites or applications with large media libraries.
You can check your current disk usage in cPanel under Statistics on the right-hand panel of the cPanel home screen.
