If you use a script-driven platform for your site, it stores its information in a database and the bigger the site becomes, the more info it collects. As an example, if you launch an e-store, the size of the database that the e-commerce script uses shall increase any time you add more goods. The same is valid for a forum script - the more users that register and the more comments they submit, the larger the database. If your sites gain popularity or you just want to include more content, this may develop into a problem in case that your website hosting account has limited database storage space. What the specific effect of hitting the limit shall be depends on the script - the website may perform adequately, but you may not be able to add any new content; the website could be viewed with errors; or, in the most severe scenario, your entire site could simply go offline.

MySQL Database Storage in Shared Hosting

All shared hosting accounts purchased from our company are created on our custom cloud web hosting platform where every part of the web hosting service has its own cluster of servers. The databases aren't an exception and considering the fact that we can keep adding additional web servers to the cluster that controls them, the space which you may use for your databases is practically unrestricted. This way, you can expand your sites as much as you need and run any script that requires MySQL without ever having to worry that you will reach some cap and that your websites won't work correctly. You'll be able to freely export and import databases of any size via your Hepsia hosting CP. If you have any questions in this matter, you could ask our 24x7x365 technical support to aid you with either one of these tasks.

MySQL Database Storage in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The semi-dedicated hosting which we provide use a custom cloud platform in which the files, databases and e-mails are handled by their own clusters of machines. Put simply, if you use this kind of plan, you’ll no longer have to worry about the size of your databases as there's practically no limit for the database space - we may keep adding as many hard disks or entire servers to the cluster as required. Therefore, any MySQL-based web site which you host in the semi-dedicated account can evolve without any restrictions. Via the phpMyAdmin software instrument, which could be accessed from the Hepsia Internet hosting CP, you will be able to import or export your databases with a couple of mouse clicks no matter how massive they are.
