Compared with a static HTML website where all content is on the actual site pages, any script-driven Internet site stores all its info in a database. Just a few examples of this type of websites are a WordPress blog or an OpenCart electronic commerce portal - in both cases, product listings, prices, blog posts, user comments etc are collected in the database and not inside the actual script files. The more the info you include, the more substantial the database becomes and if your website hosting package has some limit for the maximum size a database could have, your site may not perform adequately after you hit that limit. The end results can range from inability to include new content to improperly functioning website or even the site displaying only error messages and not being accessible at all.

MySQL Database Storage in Shared Hosting

If you acquire a shared hosting through us, we will never limit the growth of any MySQL-driven Internet site which you host inside the account since our plans include unlimited database space. Even though enormous databases could affect the functionality of a site regardless of the type of Internet hosting, we don't have a limit both for the total space all databases could take and for the total size of an individual database. You can easily run an Internet store with as many items as you wish or a forum without having to worry you will have to remove old posts or limit the amount of registered users that you could have. Our Hepsia hosting CP will also permit you to import or export databases inside your account irrespective of their size. If you face any issues with the latter, our tech support is available 24/7 to help you.

MySQL Database Storage in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The Linux semi-dedicated hosting which we provide use a custom cloud platform in which the files, databases and e-mail messages are handled by their own clusters of servers. Simply put, if you use such a plan, you’ll no longer have to worry about the size of your databases as there's virtually no limitation for the database space - we could keep adding as many hard disk drives or whole machines to the cluster as needed. Consequently, any MySQL-based web site that you host inside the semi-dedicated account could grow without any restrictions. Via the phpMyAdmin software tool, which can be accessed from the Hepsia website hosting CP, you'll be able to import or export your databases with a few mouse clicks regardless of how large they are. If you lack previous experience with such matters, you can always ask our tech support team for assistance.
