Compared with a static HTML site where all content is on the actual site pages, any script-driven website gathers all its data inside a database. Just a couple of examples of this type of Internet sites are a WordPress blog or an OpenCart e-commerce portal - in both cases, product or service listings, prices, blog posts, user reviews and so forth are stored in the database and not in the actual script files. The more the content you include, the larger the database gets and if your hosting package has some limit for the maximum size a database may have, your Internet site may not function adequately after you reach that limit. The results can range from being unable to add new data to poorly performing Internet site or even the site showing only error messages and not being available at all.
MySQL Database Storage in Web Hosting
We use a state-of-the-art cloud web hosting platform and all databases created in the web hosting accounts on it are managed by an independent cluster of servers, so we have made a decision not to limit the total space they could take. Each database inside an account can be of any size, so the development of your Internet sites shall not be restricted, as we can easily keep attaching extra machines to the cluster if needed for providing both more space and better load balancing. If you run a community forum, for example, you won't need to worry that way too many users may join or that they might post far too many comments. When you use our custom-made Hepsia Control Panel, you'll be able to export or import a database of any size with ease. If you face any difficulties with this task, you should check our help articles and video tutorials or you can get hold of our support team, that's available 24/7/365, including holidays & weekends.
MySQL Database Storage in Semi-dedicated Servers
The Linux semi-dedicated service we offer you use a custom cloud platform in which the files, databases and e-mail messages are managed by their own clusters of servers. To put it differently, if you use such a plan, you will no longer have to worry about the size of your databases simply because there's practically no limit for the database space - we can keep adding as many hard disk drives or entire web servers to the cluster as needed. For that reason, any MySQL-based Internet site which you host in the semi-dedicated account may develop without any limitations. Using the phpMyAdmin tool, which can be accessed from the Hepsia web hosting CP, you'll be able to import or export your databases with several clicks regardless of how massive they are. In case you don't have previous experience with such matters, you can ask our tech support team for assistance.
