Compared with a static HTML Internet site where all content is on the actual pages of the site, any script-driven Internet site stores all its data in a database. Just a few examples of such Internet sites are a WordPress blog or an OpenCart electronic commerce portal - in both cases, item listings, selling prices, blog posts, user reviews etc are stored in the database and not in the actual script files. The more the info you include, the larger the database becomes and if your Internet hosting plan has some limit for the maximum size a database could have, your site may not work correctly once you reach that limit. The consequences can range from inability to include new data to badly performing website or even the site displaying nothing but error messages and not being available at all.

MySQL Database Storage in Shared Hosting

Due to our custom cloud web hosting platform, we can offer unlimited space for the MySQL databases you create inside your shared hosting account. In contrast to many website hosting providers which run everything on a single web server, we have a whole cluster which manages solely the databases and nothing else. Because of this, not only is the efficiency better, but the cluster capacity is also limitless because we could add more machines anytime if necessary. That way your websites can keep expanding with no limits. You can import or export any database no matter its size using the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and the phpMyAdmin tool, that you can use to manage your databases. If you want assistance, you may always take a look at our video tutorials or make contact with our support representatives who shall aid you with all database-related questions within the hour.

MySQL Database Storage in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The Linux semi-dedicated packages which we provide use a custom cloud platform where the files, databases and emails are handled by their own clusters of web servers. In other words, when you use this kind of plan, you’ll no longer need to worry about the size of your databases due to the fact that there's virtually no limit for the database space - we may keep adding as many hard disk drives or entire web servers to the cluster as needed. For that reason, any MySQL-based website which you host inside the semi-dedicated account can grow without any limitations. Via the phpMyAdmin software tool, which can be accessed from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will be able to import or export your databases with a couple of clicks no matter how large they are. In case you do not have previous experience with such matters, you can always ask our tech support for assistance.
