If you use a script-driven platform for your site, it stores its information within a database and the larger the website gets, the more info it stores. As an illustration, if you launch an Internet store, the size of the database that the e-commerce script employs will increase as you add more goods. The exact same is valid for a forum script - the more users that register and the more comments they submit, the bigger the database. If your sites become more popular or you just want to add more content, this may become a problem if your Internet hosting account has limited database storage area. What the specific effect of reaching the limit will be depends on the script - the website could work adequately, but you may not be able to include any new content; the internet site can be displayed with errors; or, in the worst case scenario, the entire internet site may simply go offline.

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 managed by a separate cluster of web servers, so we've made a decision to not limit the total space they may take. Any database inside an account could be of any size, so the expansion of your sites won't be limited, due to the fact that we could keep attaching more and more servers to the cluster if required for providing both more space and much better load balancing. In case you run a discussion board, for instance, you won't have to worry that way too many users could join or that they might post way too many comments. Taking advantage of our custom-made Hepsia Control Panel, you shall be able to export or import a database of any size with no trouble. If you face any difficulties with this task, you can check our help articles and video lessons or you can get hold of our support team, that's available 24/7/365, including holidays and weekends.

MySQL Database Storage in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you host your sites in a semi-dedicated server account from our company, all of your MySQL-based script applications will work flawlessly as we don't impose any limitations on the size that your databases may have. We have achieved that by working with a custom-built cloud platform where the files, databases and email messages run on different clusters of servers, not on single machines. This way, the system resources of a given cluster are practically endless because we could add more hard disks or servers anytime as required. The Hepsia web hosting CP, which comes with all semi-dedicated accounts, will allow you to export and import databases of any size without difficulty. If you use our web hosting services, your sites can evolve with no limits, so you can expand your worldwide web presence and get lots of new website visitors and potential customers.
