In comparison with a static HTML website where all content is on the actual pages of the site, any script-driven site gathers all of its information in a database. Just a couple of examples of this sort of sites are a WordPress blog or an OpenCart e-commerce portal - in both cases, item listings, prices, blog posts, user feedback and so forth are gathered in the database and not inside the actual script files. The more the data you include, the more substantial the database becomes and if your web hosting package has some limit for the maximum size a database could have, your website may not function properly once you hit that limit. The end results can vary from not being able to include new data to badly performing site or even the site displaying nothing but error messages and not being online at all.

MySQL Database Storage in Shared Hosting

We use an innovative cloud hosting platform and all databases created in the shared hosting accounts on it are controlled by an independent cluster of servers, so we've made a decision to not limit the total space they may take. Every database in an account may be of any size, so the expansion of your sites shall not be constrained, due to the fact that we are able to keep attaching additional servers to the cluster if needed for providing both more space and far better load balancing. If you run a discussion forum, for instance, you shall not need to worry that way too many users may join or that they could post too many comments. Using our custom-made Hepsia CP, you shall be able to export or import a database of any size with no trouble. If you come across any problems with this task, you should check our help articles and video lessons or you may contact our tech support team, that is available 24x7x365, including weekends & holidays.

MySQL Database Storage in Semi-dedicated Servers

The Linux semi-dedicated servers that we offer you use a custom cloud platform where the files, databases and e-mails are handled by their own clusters of machines. Basically, if you use such a plan, you will no longer have to worry about the size of your databases as there is essentially no restriction for the database space - we could keep adding as many HDDs or entire web servers to the cluster as needed. As a result, any MySQL-based web site which you host inside the semi-dedicated account may expand without any restrictions. With the phpMyAdmin software instrument, which can be accessed through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will be able to import or export your databases with several clicks regardless how large they are. In case you do not have previous experience with such matters, you can ask our tech support for assistance.
