Compared with a static HTML site where all content is on the actual pages of the site, any script-driven site collects all its data inside a database. Just a few examples of such Internet sites are a WordPress blog or an OpenCart electronic commerce portal - in both cases, product listings, prices, blog posts, user responses etc are collected in the database and not inside the actual script files. The more the content you include, the bigger the database becomes and if your hosting plan has some limit for the maximum size a database may have, your website may not work properly when you hit that limit. The end results can range from inability to include new content to inadequately working site or even the website displaying only error messages and not being available at all.

MySQL Database Storage in Hosting

Because of our custom cloud web hosting platform, we can offer unlimited space for the MySQL databases which you create inside your hosting account. Unlike many hosting providers which run everything on just a single machine, we have a whole cluster which controls just the databases and nothing else. Because of this, not only is the functionality better, but the cluster capacity is also limitless as we can add more web servers anytime if necessary. This way your sites could keep expanding without limitations. You can easily import or export any database no matter what its size through the Hepsia hosting CP and the phpMyAdmin tool, that you can use to handle your databases. If you want help, you could always take a look at our educational videos or get in touch with our tech support representatives who will aid you with all database-related questions within the hour.

MySQL Database Storage in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The Linux semi-dedicated hosting we offer use a custom cloud platform in which the files, databases and e-mail messages are managed by their own clusters of servers. To put it differently, when you use this type of plan, you’ll no longer have to worry about the size of your databases for the reason that there's essentially no limitation for the database space - we may keep adding as many HDDs or entire servers to the cluster as required. Therefore, any MySQL-based site that you host in the semi-dedicated account can grow without any restrictions. Using the phpMyAdmin instrument, which can be accessed from the Hepsia hosting CP, you will be able to import or export your databases with a couple of clicks regardless how big they are. If you lack previous experience with such matters, you could ask our tech support team for help.
