Compared with a static HTML Internet site where all content is on the actual pages of the site, any script-driven website collects its information in a database. A few examples of such websites are a WordPress blog or an OpenCart e-commerce portal - in both cases, item listings, rates, blog posts, user feedback and so forth are gathered in the database and not inside the actual script files. The more the info you include, the larger the database gets and if your hosting package has some limit for the maximum size a database could have, your Internet site may not function adequately once you reach that limit. The end results can vary from not being able to include new data to improperly working site or even the website showing nothing but error messages and not being accessible at all.

MySQL Database Storage in Shared Website Hosting

We use a groundbreaking cloud hosting platform and all databases set up in the shared website hosting accounts on it are managed by an independent cluster of servers, so we have made the decision to not limit the total space they could take. Any database in an account could be of any size, so the growth of your Internet sites shall not be constrained, given that we could keep attaching more and more machines to the cluster if necessary for providing both more space and much better load balancing. If you run a discussion board, for example, you will not need to worry that a great number of users may join or that they might post too many comments. When you take advantage of our custom Hepsia Control Panel, you'll be able to export and import a database of any size without difficulty. If you come across any difficulties with this task, you can check our help articles and video lessons or you could communicate with our support crew, that is available 24/7, including weekends and holidays.

MySQL Database Storage in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The Linux semi-dedicated packages we offer you use a custom cloud platform in which the files, databases and e-mails are handled by their own clusters of machines. To put it differently, if you use this type of plan, you’ll no longer need to worry about the size of your databases because there is practically no limit for the database space - we may keep adding as many hard drives or whole machines to the cluster as needed. As a result, any MySQL-based website that you host inside the semi-dedicated account can expand without any restrictions. Via the phpMyAdmin instrument, which can be accessed through the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you will be able to import or export your databases with a couple of mouse clicks regardless how massive they are. If you don't have previous experience with such matters, you can ask our technical support for assistance.
