Unlike a static HTML Internet site where all content is on the actual pages of the site, any script-driven site collects all of its information inside a database. Just a few examples of this sort of websites are a WordPress blog or an OpenCart electronic commerce portal - in both cases, item listings, rates, blog posts, user responses etc are collected in the database and not in the actual script files. The more the data you add, the bigger the database becomes and if your web hosting plan has some limit for the maximum size a database can have, your site might not work correctly as soon as you reach that limit. The consequences can vary from being unable to include new info to inadequately performing Internet site or even the site showing only error messages and not being available at all.

MySQL Database Storage in Hosting

We use a groundbreaking cloud web hosting platform and all databases created in the hosting accounts on it are handled by a different cluster of servers, so we have made a decision to not limit the total space they may take. Each database inside an account could be of any size, so the development of your sites won't be limited, given that we could keep attaching additional machines to the cluster if necessary for providing both more space and better load balancing. If you run a community forum, for example, you will not need to worry that too many users may join or that they may post too many comments. Using our custom-made Hepsia Control Panel, you'll be able to export and import a database of any size with ease. If you come across any difficulties with this task, you can look at our help articles and video lessons or you can get hold of our support team, that's available round-the-clock, including holidays & weekends.

MySQL Database Storage in Semi-dedicated Servers

The semi-dedicated plans we offer use a custom cloud platform in which the files, databases and e-mails are managed by their own clusters of web servers. To put it differently, when you use this kind of plan, you’ll no longer need to worry about the size of your databases because there's practically no limit for the database space - we may keep adding as many HDDs or whole servers to the cluster as needed. As a result, any MySQL-based web site that you host inside the semi-dedicated account could evolve without any limits. Via the phpMyAdmin software tool, which can be accessed from the Hepsia web hosting CP, you will be able to import or export your databases with several clicks irrespective of how big they are. If you don't have previous experience with such matters, you could always ask our tech support for assistance.
