I personally won't host websites on HDD anymore. I will only use HDD servers for storage/backup. Especially when you gonna host 4000+ accounts. Where do you want your server to be located, and how many disk spaces do your current clients totally use?

In this case, I would suggest you to add an SSD/NVMe to an HDD server. Install the server and all services(especially httpd/nginx and SQL server) on SSD, and put all the clients' data on the HDD. At least an HDD server with an SSD cache would be better than a simple HDD server.

Regarding Godaddy, TBH, I would avoid any of its services.

I dont know that your clients pay just "pure price" or you earn a little with hosting?
I dont know that your client's websites purpose is? Simple, corporate, ecommerce ?
Most hosting company selling "SSD" Disc storage but they dont want to mention about SSD's features (speed of reading/writing etc.)
Mostly selling HDD with powered SSD (kind of marketing tricks)

And if i were you i try to reseller package with good and reliable hosting company and i try to talk them for customer's numbers so they might be good discount for list price.
So you will not any hassle storaging, CPU and ram
 
Of course SSD is much more good option than HDD.
Is more faster, more speed available (write and read performance) is huge than HDD.

SSD is more expensive, but still be a good investiment. No one likes laggy servers, or low performance servers.
They want quality servers with reasonable prices.

HDD is great for Backup and Storage, like someone said above.
SSD is the way, websites load more faster and for the client that is a bonus, to stay with you.

IMO.
 
my server I upgraded to has 960GB SSD for primary then 6 * 4TB (3.6TB after formatting) = ~22TB and it's been good. clients are happy for solid server, haven't noticed lots of problems or anyone not happy with it. All been optimized and with Cloudlinux as well. So it's basically on your style of choice but SSDs are best, but with proper configuration and optimization it can be good with both combined.
 
OS and Server related files use nVME drives, for backup and other purposes you can still use ssd or hdd. Speed is important nowadays.
