Compared with a static HTML site where all content is on the actual site pages, any script-driven Internet site gathers all of its info in a database. Just a few examples of this type of sites are a WordPress blog or an OpenCart electronic commerce portal - in both cases, product listings, rates, blog posts, user responses and so on are stored in the database and not in the actual script files. The more the content you add, the larger the database becomes and if your Internet hosting plan has some limit for the maximum size a database may have, your Internet site may not work properly once you hit that limit. The results can vary from inability to add new info to improperly working Internet site or even the website showing only error messages and not being available at all.

MySQL Database Storage in Website Hosting

We use a cutting-edge cloud web hosting platform and all databases set up in the website hosting accounts on it are controlled by an independent cluster of web servers, so we have made a decision not to limit the total space they could take. Each database in an account can be of any size, so the expansion of your sites will not be restricted, since we can keep attaching extra servers to the cluster if necessary for providing both more space and much better load balancing. In the event you run a community forum, for instance, you shall not have to worry that too many users could join or that they could post too many comments. When you take advantage of our custom Hepsia Control Panel, you'll be able to export or import a database of any size with no trouble. If you experience any problems with this task, you can look at our help articles and video lessons or you could contact our technical support team, which is available 24/7/365, including holidays & weekends.

MySQL Database Storage in Semi-dedicated Servers

The semi-dedicated servers that we provide use a custom cloud platform where the files, databases and e-mails are handled by their own clusters of servers. Basically, if you use such a plan, you’ll no longer have to worry about the size of your databases for the reason that there is virtually no limitation for the database space - we could keep adding as many hard disks or entire web servers to the cluster as needed. Therefore, any MySQL-based web site which you host in the semi-dedicated account can evolve without any restrictions. With the phpMyAdmin instrument, which can be accessed from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you shall be able to import or export your databases with a couple of clicks regardless of how massive they are. If you lack previous experience with such matters, you can ask our technical support for help.
