Compared with a static HTML site where all content is on the actual site pages, any script-driven site stores all its data inside a database. A few examples of such sites are a WordPress blog or an OpenCart electronic commerce portal - in both cases, product or service listings, prices, blog posts, user reviews and so forth are gathered in the database and not in the actual script files. The more the content you add, the more substantial the database gets and if your Internet hosting plan has some limit for the maximum size a database could have, your website might not work correctly once you reach that limit. The effects can vary from not being able to add new content to poorly functioning Internet site or even the website displaying only error messages and not being online at all.

MySQL Database Storage in Hosting

Each database inside an account can be of any size, so the development of your sites shall not be limited, due to the fact that we can keep connecting more and more machines to the cluster if needed for providing both more space and much better load balancing.

MySQL Database Storage in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The semi-dedicated packages we offer use a custom cloud platform in which the files, databases and e-mails are managed by their own clusters of machines. Simply put, when you use this type of plan, you’ll no longer have to worry about the size of your databases because there is essentially no limit for the database space - we may keep adding as many hard disks or entire web servers to the cluster as required. As a result, any MySQL-based web site which you host inside the semi-dedicated account may expand without any restrictions. Using the phpMyAdmin software tool, which could be accessed from the Hepsia Internet hosting Control Panel, you shall be able to import or export your databases with a couple of clicks irrespective of how big they are. If you do not have previous experience with such matters, you could ask our tech support team for help.
