Data is stored on their servers in databases (usually Oracle, MySql, or SQL Server). These companies have hundreds (if not thousands) of servers.

The information on the Internet is stored
on the hard drives of web servers
all over the world. Web servers are, at heart, ordinary computers
just like yours. They just happen to run web server software. That
software allows them to speak the HTTP
protocol. In English, that means that the software listens for
requests from web browsers
(the software you're using to read this page right now!) and answers back
with web pages, images, and other data.
The World Wide Web never
"runs out of space" because webmasters (people who have websites)
are generally willing to pay for a website. And that means that
people in the web "hosting" business have the cash to pay for
more web servers if they need them.
In practice, web servers usually aren't exactly like your
computer. For business reasons, they are usually built to fit into racks
in "data centers" that have very fast connections to the rest of the Internet.
This way, web "hosting" companies can achieve economies of scale by hosting
many websites in one facility.
But there is no fundamental difference between your computer and a server
in a rack at a web hosting facility.
In fact, it is possible to run a website
on your own computer at home, although that is
usually not practical for serious
websites.

hi....
Shashank is right....
I am using a image here which will clarify your most of questions.
Click Here
It is very simple that
(i) Websites are stored on webserver
(ii) Emails are stored on mailserver
(iii) Databases are stored on database server (database servers never be a same i mean for sqlserver, mysql always be different, they can also be on different reasons and connected to each other)
(iv) Domain name server (which has dns name space control)
(v) Backup server
If any hosting company is providing you the hosting service they they should have above all servers separately. All the servers are finally connected to WebSevers. If you are asking that how they specify the the spaces that some of customers has paying for 100MB webserver space, some of for 11GB. Think how they manage the server space for all. Now I am telling you they manage it from ControlPanel.
Webserver or DatabaseServer has no space difinition system for customers.....remember all the space queries are managed from ControlPanel.
I hope my little post will help you. Right?
thanks
