What is the difference between Domain disk space and Hard disk quota?

Domain disk space - a calculation of everything the domain uses disk space for i.e. web, mail, databases, etc.
Hard disk quota - a calculation of disk space used by a domains ftp user account i.e. web files.

Domain disk space
This is how much disk space is used by the entire domain. It is made up of Plesk statistics and includes the amount of disk space taken by web pages, mail accounts, databases and other domain data including options specified in the statistic settings on Server -> Server preferences page in the Plesk CP.

Hard disk quota
Is a file system feature that limits how much disk space can be taken by the files which are owned by a specific system account (either domain FTP user or webuser or subdomain FTP user).

This file system quota cannot be exceeded. If the limit is reached, the system user will not be able to create new files and will receive the error “no more space left on device”.
