Unlike a static HTML Internet site where all content is on the actual website pages, any script-driven website stores all of its information in a database. Just a few examples of such Internet sites are a WordPress blog or an OpenCart electronic commerce portal - in both cases, product listings, selling prices, blog posts, user responses and so on are collected in the database and not in the actual script files. The more the information you add, the more substantial the database becomes and if your Internet hosting package has some limit for the maximum size a database could have, your Internet site may not function correctly as soon as you reach that limit. The results can range from not being able to include new information to badly performing site or even the website showing nothing but error messages and not being online at all.
MySQL Database Storage in Shared Hosting
We use an innovative cloud web hosting platform and all databases created in the shared hosting accounts on it are controlled by a separate cluster of web servers, so we have made the decision to not limit the total space they may take. Every database in an account can be of any size, so the growth of your sites won't be restricted, given that we can easily keep attaching extra machines to the cluster if required for providing both more space and better load balancing. In case you run a community forum, for instance, you won't need to worry that too many users could join or that they may post too many comments. Using our custom-made Hepsia CP, you'll be able to export and import a database of any size with ease. If you face any issues with this task, you can check our help articles and instructional videos or you may contact our technical support crew, that is available round-the-clock, including weekends & holidays.
MySQL Database Storage in Semi-dedicated Servers
As our semi-dedicated server accounts use an advanced cloud platform, we can afford to provide limitless storage space for the MySQL databases created inside any such account while not compromising the quality of the service. Quite the opposite, the overall performance is improved, because a whole cluster of servers handles just MySQL queries and absolutely nothing else. We could keep growing the cluster storage and the computing power by attaching new web servers and hard disk drives, so you'll never be limited when it comes to the size of any one of your databases. You could freely export or import any MySQL database through the phpMyAdmin tool inside your Hepsia hosting Control Panel or you can ask our qualified professionals to help you with this task provided you have no previous experience and you aren't sure how to proceed.
