In contrast to a static HTML site where all content is on the actual pages of the site, any script-driven website collects all of its info inside a database. Just a few examples of this kind of websites are a WordPress blog or an OpenCart electronic commerce portal - in both cases, item listings, rates, blog posts, user responses etc are stored in the database and not in the actual script files. The more the content you add, the bigger the database gets and if your hosting plan has some limit for the maximum size a database may have, your Internet site might not work properly as soon as you reach that limit. The effects can vary from inability to include new information to poorly working site or even the site showing nothing but error messages and not being available at all.
MySQL Database Storage in Shared Hosting
We use a state-of-the-art cloud Internet hosting platform and all databases set up in the shared hosting accounts on it are controlled by a different cluster of web servers, so we've made the decision to not limit the total space they can take. Each database in an account can be of any size, so the growth of your websites won't be restricted, given that we could keep attaching additional servers to the cluster if needed for providing both more space and better load balancing. If you run a community forum, for instance, you will not have to worry that a great number of users may join or that they could post way too many comments. When you use our custom Hepsia Control Panel, you shall be able to export and import a database of any size with ease. If you encounter any issues with this task, you can look at our help articles and video tutorials or you may contact our support crew, that is available round-the-clock, including weekends & holidays.
MySQL Database Storage in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Since our semi-dedicated server accounts use an advanced cloud platform, we can afford to provide unlimited storage space for the MySQL databases created in any such account without compromising the quality of the service. Quite the opposite, the functionality is improved, because a whole cluster of machines handles solely MySQL queries and absolutely nothing else. We can keep growing the cluster storage and the computing power by putting in new machines and hard disks, so you'll never be limited in terms of the size of any one of your databases. You could freely export or import any MySQL database using the phpMyAdmin tool inside your Hepsia web hosting CP or you could ask our qualified professionals to aid you with this task provided you have no previous experience and you are not sure what you should do.
