Compared with a static HTML site where all content is on the actual website pages, any script-driven site stores its info inside a database. Just a couple of 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 comments etc are collected in the database and not inside the actual script files. The more the info you include, the more substantial the database becomes and if your web hosting plan has some limit for the maximum size a database could have, your Internet site may not function correctly after you hit that limit. The end results can range from inability to add new content to badly working Internet site or even the website showing only error messages and not being accessible at all.

MySQL Database Storage in Hosting

Due to our custom cloud hosting platform, we could offer unlimited space for the MySQL databases you create inside your hosting account. Different from many web hosting companies that run everything on a single web server, we have a whole cluster that controls solely the databases and nothing else. Consequently, not only is the overall performance better, but the cluster capacity is also infinite because we could add more web servers at any time if needed. Thus your websites can keep expanding with no limits. You can easily import or export any database irrespective of its size using the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and the phpMyAdmin tool, that you can use to manage your databases. If you'd like help, you can always take a look at our educational videos or make contact with our technical support representatives who will aid you with all database-related questions within the hour.

MySQL Database Storage in Semi-dedicated Servers

You will not have any troubles with the size of your MySQL databases in case you have a semi-dedicated server from our company due to the fact that unlike many other website hosting service providers, we don't run everything on a single web server. Rather, we employ a cloud platform, so a whole cluster of web servers is dedicated to controlling the databases of our clients. Anytime additional power or space is required, we can quickly attach more web servers or hard disks to the cluster, so the disk space is literally infinite. With our services, you can expand your websites or popularize them as much as you want without having to worry that your MySQL databases shall expand too much. No matter the size of a particular database, you'll be able to export or import it easily via your website hosting CP.
