In contrast to a static HTML website where all content is on the actual site pages, any script-driven website collects its data inside a database. Just a couple of examples of this kind of sites are a WordPress blog or an OpenCart e-commerce portal - in both cases, product listings, selling prices, blog posts, user feedback etc are gathered in the database and not inside the actual script files. The more the information you add, the bigger the database gets and if your hosting plan has some limit for the maximum size a database can have, your website might not work correctly once you hit that limit. The consequences can range from not being able to include new information to inadequately working Internet site or even the website displaying nothing but error messages and not being accessible at all.

MySQL Database Storage in Cloud Website Hosting

If you obtain a cloud website hosting plan through our company, we will never limit the expansion of any MySQL-driven website which you host in the account since our packages feature unlimited database storage space. Despite the fact that enormous databases might affect the functionality of a site regardless of the type of web hosting, we don't have a limit both for the total space all databases might take and for the overall size of a single database. You can run an online store with as many products and services as you would like or a forum without having to worry that you will have to remove old posts or limit the amount of registered users that you could have. Our Hepsia Internet hosting Control Panel shall also enable you to import or export databases in your account whatever their size. If you face any problems with the latter, our technical support is available 24/7 to aid you.

MySQL Database Storage in Semi-dedicated Servers

The semi-dedicated plans which we provide use a custom cloud platform in which the files, databases and emails are handled by their own clusters of web servers. Put simply, when you use this type of plan, you’ll no longer need to worry about the size of your databases simply because there's virtually no restriction for the database space - we can keep adding as many hard disks or entire web servers to the cluster as required. Consequently, any MySQL-based website that you host inside the semi-dedicated account could grow without any limits. Using the phpMyAdmin tool, which could be accessed from the Hepsia Internet hosting CP, you will be able to import or export your databases with a couple of clicks no matter how massive they are. In case you do not have previous experience with such matters, you can always ask our technical support for help.
