If you use a script-driven platform for your site, it stores its data inside a database and the more substantial the Internet site gets, the more information it gathers. As an example, if you start an Internet store, the size of the database the e-commerce script uses will increase any time you add more products. The exact same applies for a forum script - the more users that register and the more comments they submit, the larger the database. If your Internet sites become more popular or you simply want to add more content, this might be a problem if your website hosting account has limited database space. What the specific effect of reaching the limit shall be depends on the script - the website could work adequately, but you may not be able to include any new info; the website can be viewed with errors; or, in the most severe scenario, the entire internet site might go offline.

MySQL Database Storage in Cloud Web Hosting

We use a state-of-the-art cloud web hosting platform and all databases created in the cloud web hosting accounts on it are controlled by a different cluster of web servers, so we have made the decision not to limit the total space they could take. Any database inside an account may be of any size, so the expansion of your websites will not be restricted, as we are able to keep attaching more and more machines to the cluster if required for providing both more space and better load balancing. In case you run a community forum, for example, you'll not have to worry that a great number of users may join or that they might post too many comments. Using our custom-made Hepsia Control Panel, you'll be able to export or import a database of any size easily. If you come across any issues with this task, you should check our help articles and video lessons or you can get in touch with our technical support team, that's available 24/7/365, including holidays & weekends.

MySQL Database Storage in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The Linux semi-dedicated hosting which we offer you use a custom cloud platform where the files, databases and e-mails are managed by their own clusters of servers. Simply put, if you use such a plan, you will no longer have to worry about the size of your databases simply because there's practically no restriction for the database space - we could keep adding as many hard disk drives or entire servers to the cluster as needed. As a result, any MySQL-based web site that you host inside the semi-dedicated account may expand without any limits. Using the phpMyAdmin instrument, which can be accessed through the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you shall be able to import or export your databases with a couple of mouse clicks regardless how massive they are. In case you do not have previous experience with such matters, you can ask our technical support for assistance.
