Compared with a static HTML site where all content is on the actual website pages, any script-driven site stores all its information inside a database. A few examples of this kind of Internet sites are a WordPress blog or an OpenCart e-commerce portal - in both cases, item listings, prices, blog posts, user feedback and so on are collected in the database and not inside the actual script files. The more the content you add, the bigger the database gets and if your web hosting package has some limit for the maximum size a database could have, your site may not function adequately once you reach that limit. The effects can range from not being able to add new information to improperly performing website or even the website displaying nothing but error messages and not being available at all.

MySQL Database Storage in Shared Website Hosting

We use a revolutionary cloud Internet hosting platform and all databases set up in the shared website hosting accounts on it are handled by an independent cluster of web servers, so we have chosen not to limit the total space they can take. Any database inside an account can be of any size, so the expansion of your Internet sites won't be restricted, given that we can easily keep connecting more and more servers to the cluster if required for providing both more space and far better load balancing. If you run a community forum, for instance, you won't have to worry that way too many users may join or that they may post far too many comments. When you use our custom-made Hepsia CP, you shall be able to export and import a database of any size with no trouble. If you experience any issues with this task, you can check our help articles and video tutorials or you may get hold of our support crew, which is available 24x7, including holidays & weekends.

MySQL Database Storage in Semi-dedicated Servers

The semi-dedicated servers that we offer use a custom cloud platform in which the files, databases and e-mail messages are handled by their own clusters of servers. In other words, when you use such a plan, you’ll no longer have to worry about the size of your databases for the reason that there's virtually no restriction for the database space - we may keep adding as many hard disks or whole machines to the cluster as needed. As a result, any MySQL-based web site that you host inside the semi-dedicated account may develop without any limits. Via the phpMyAdmin instrument, which can be accessed from the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, you'll be able to import or export your databases with several clicks regardless how large they are. In case you don't have previous experience with such matters, you can ask our technical support for assistance.
