Dears,
I am looking for a cloud hosting for my website. When I read the pricing detail, I wonder what “SSD Disk” mean. If I chose the $20/month plan, beside the 2GB memory, I would have more 40GB SSD disk? Is it correct?
Thank you,

SSD is your storage drive. Where you place your files. The reason this is good is that you’re getting a faster drive than spindle drives – the older drives that spin to access data.
TL;DR: the 2GB is your RAM. the 40GB SSD is your storage.
SSD Disk means “Solid State Drive/Disk”
This is essentially your c: drive but rather than using a mechanical spindle that is slower. It uses memory chips (like your computer memory) to store your data.
Its faster but normally more expensive (Thus you only get 40GB of storage) rather than something like 400GB
