If you use a script-driven platform for your site, it stores its info within a database and the more substantial the site becomes, the more data it collects. As an example, if you launch an Internet based store, the size of the database the e-commerce script employs shall increase when you add more products. Exactly the same applies for a forum script - the more users that register and the more opinions they submit, the larger the database. If your sites become popular or you just want to add more content, this could be a problem if your Internet hosting account has limited database space for storage. What the exact effect of hitting the limit shall be depends on the script - the website can perform correctly, but you may not be able to include any new content; the website could be viewed with errors; or, in the most severe scenario, your entire website could simply go offline.

MySQL Database Storage in Hosting

If you purchase a hosting plan through us, we shall never restrict the development of any MySQL-driven website which you host in the account due to the fact that our packages feature unlimited database space for storage. Though massive databases might have an effect on the overall performance of a site regardless of the type of hosting, we don't have a limit both for the total space all of the databases might take and for the total size of an individual database. You may run a web-based store with as many products and services as you want or a forum without worrying you will have to remove old posts or limit the amount of registered users you can have. Our Hepsia hosting CP shall also enable you to import or export databases in your account whatever their size. If you experience any difficulties with the latter, our tech support team is available 24/7 to help you.

MySQL Database Storage in Semi-dedicated Servers

The semi-dedicated hosting plans that we offer you use a custom cloud platform in which the files, databases and emails are handled by their own clusters of web servers. Put simply, if you use this type of plan, you will no longer have to worry about the size of your databases simply because there's essentially no restriction for the database space - we may keep adding as many hard drives or entire machines to the cluster as required. As a result, any MySQL-based web site that you host in the semi-dedicated account can easily expand without any limits. Using the phpMyAdmin instrument, which can be accessed through the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, you'll be able to import or export your databases with several clicks regardless of how large they are. In case you lack previous experience with such matters, you could always ask our tech support for assistance.
