6. "NVMe” (Gb) – The volume of disk space on a "NVMe” disk, actually provided for use by a given SERVER or SERVERS. It is measured in Gigabytes. Corresponds to the actual existing disk space on PHYSICAL SERVERS from the PLATFORM. The permissible load on this disk is up to 50 IOPS for each allocated GB, but not less than 500 IOPS and not more than 50000 IOPS.
7. "NVMe Optimised" (Gb) – The volume of disk space, the read operations of which are accelerated by an NVMe disk, actually provided for use by a given SERVER or SERVERS. Measured in Gigabytes. Corresponds to the actual disk space of PHYSICAL SERVERS of the PLATFORM. The permissible load on this disk when reading is up to 33 IOPS for each allocated GB, but not less than 330 IOPS and not more than 3300 IOPS. The permissible load on this disk when writing is up to 5 IOPS for each allocated GB, but not less than 50 IOPS and not more than 250 IOPS.
8. "HDD” (Gb) – The volume of disk space on a disk of type "HDD”, actually provided for use by a given SERVER or SERVERS. Measured in Gigabytes. Corresponds to the actual disk space of PHYSICAL SERVERS of the PLATFORM. The permissible load on this disk is up to 5 IOPS for each allocated GB, but not less than 50 IOPS and not more than 250 IOPS.
9. "Internet” (Mbps) – the maximum speed of the Internet connection provided for use by a given SERVER or SERVERS. It is measured in Megabits.
10. "Traffic” (TB) – Total amount of information that can pass between a given SERVER or SERVERS and other devices on the Internet. It is reported on the PROVIDER's port. It is measured in Terabytes. If UNLIMITED is not mentioned or is written, then the permissible traffic is indirectly limited only by the agreed speed.
11. "IP addresses” – Publicly available IP addresses version 4, actually provided for use by a given SERVER or SERVERS. They are measured in number.
12. "Servers” – The number of SERVERS provided for use by a CLIENT.

16. "SSL certificate" (Secure Socket Layer certificate) - is associated with a specific site. A valid SSL certificate provides additional security for online visitors to a site by encrypting the connection during data exchange between the user and the site.

17. "Migration" - server migration is the process of moving your projects, websites, emails and files from one server to another.
18. "Monitoring" - server monitoring is working with various systems that monitor the main parameters of the client server in real time. Monitoring takes into account load and consumed parameters from Clowbe plans.
