Unlike a static HTML Internet site where all content is on the actual pages of the site, any script-driven site stores its information inside a database. A few examples of this kind of websites are a WordPress blog or an OpenCart e-commerce portal - in both cases, product listings, rates, blog posts, user feedback etc are gathered in the database and not inside the actual script files. The more the data you add, the more substantial the database becomes and if your hosting plan has some limit for the maximum size a database can have, your Internet site might not function adequately when you reach that limit. The consequences can vary from inability to add new information to inadequately working Internet site or even the website displaying only error messages and not being accessible at all.
MySQL Database Storage in Shared Web Hosting
Because of our custom cloud website hosting platform, we're able to offer unlimited space for the MySQL databases which you create inside your shared web hosting account. Different from many web hosting companies that run everything on one server, we have an entire cluster that controls solely the databases and nothing else. As a result, not only is the performance better, but the cluster capacity is also immense because we can add more machines anytime if necessary. That way your sites can keep developing without any limitations. You can import or export any database irrespective of its size via the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and the phpMyAdmin tool, you can use to control your databases. If you would like assistance, you can always take a look at our instructional videos or communicate with our technical support representatives who will help you with all database-related questions within the hour.
MySQL Database Storage in Semi-dedicated Servers
You will not have any issues with the size of your MySQL databases if you have a semi-dedicated server through us due to the fact that in contrast to many other website hosting service providers, we don't run everything on 1 server. Rather, we use a cloud platform, so a whole cluster of web servers is dedicated to handling the databases of our clients. Whenever additional power or space is needed, we can just attach more servers or hard disk drives to the cluster, so the storage space is basically limitless. With our services, you may expand your Internet sites or popularize them as much as you'd like without having to worry that your MySQL databases will grow too much. Whatever the size of an individual database, you'll be able to export or import it easily via your web hosting CP.
