In comparison with a static HTML Internet site where all content is on the actual website pages, any script-driven Internet site gathers its info inside a database. Just a couple of examples of such Internet sites are a WordPress blog or an OpenCart e-commerce portal - in both cases, item listings, prices, blog posts, user reviews etc are collected in the database and not in the actual script files. The more the information you include, the bigger the database becomes and if your Internet hosting package has some limit for the maximum size a database could have, your website may not work correctly once you hit that limit. The consequences can vary from not being able to include new content to improperly functioning Internet site or even the website displaying nothing but error messages and not being accessible at all.

MySQL Database Storage in Cloud Hosting

Because of our custom cloud web hosting platform, we could offer unlimited space for the MySQL databases which you create in your cloud hosting account. In contrast to many hosting providers that run everything on one web server, we have a whole cluster that controls only the databases and nothing else. For that reason, not only is the performance better, but the cluster capacity is also infinite as we could add more machines anytime if required. That way your sites can keep evolving without restrictions. You could import or export any database no matter its size through the Hepsia website hosting CP and the phpMyAdmin tool, which you can use to control your databases. If you need help, you can always check our video tutorials or get hold of our tech support representatives who will help you with any database-related questions within the hour.

MySQL Database Storage in Semi-dedicated Servers

The Linux semi-dedicated hosting plans we provide use a custom cloud platform where the files, databases and email messages are handled by their own clusters of web servers. In other words, if you use this type of plan, you will no longer need to worry about the size of your databases because there is essentially no limitation for the database space - we may keep adding as many hard drives or whole machines to the cluster as needed. Consequently, any MySQL-based site which you host inside the semi-dedicated account could grow without any limitations. Via the phpMyAdmin tool, which can be accessed from the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, you shall be able to import or export your databases with several mouse clicks regardless of how large they are. In case you lack previous experience with such matters, you could always ask our technical support for assistance.
