If you use a script-driven platform for your Internet site, it stores its data inside a database and the bigger the site becomes, the more information it collects. For instance, if you start an e-store, the size of the database which the e-commerce script uses shall increase whenever you add more goods. The same is valid for a forum script - the more users that register and the more opinions they publish, the bigger the database. If your websites gain popularity or you would like to add more content, this can become a problem in the event that your hosting account has limited database storage space. What the particular effect of reaching the limit shall be depends on the script - the Internet site can perform adequately, but you may not be able to add any new info; the site may be shown with errors; or, in the most severe scenario, your entire site could simply go offline.
MySQL Database Storage in Hosting
All hosting accounts bought from our company are created on our custom cloud hosting platform where each part of the hosting service has its own cluster of servers. The databases are not an exception and since we can keep adding more servers to the cluster that manages them, the space you can use for your databases is basically unlimited. That way, you may develop your websites as much as you need and run any script that requires MySQL without ever being worried that you'll reach some cap and that your sites won't function correctly. In addition, you’ll be able to freely export and import databases of various size using your Hepsia Internet hosting CP. If you have any questions in this matter, you may ask our 24x7 tech support team to help you with either one of these tasks.
MySQL Database Storage in Semi-dedicated Hosting
The Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages that we offer you use a custom cloud platform where the files, databases and emails are handled by their own clusters of servers. To put it differently, when you use this type of plan, you will no longer have to worry about the size of your databases simply because there's virtually no restriction for the database space - we may keep adding as many hard disks or entire servers to the cluster as required. For that reason, any MySQL-based website that you host inside the semi-dedicated account can evolve without any restrictions. Via the phpMyAdmin software instrument, which can be accessed from the Hepsia Internet hosting Control Panel, you will be able to import or export your databases with a couple of mouse clicks no matter how big they are. In case you lack previous experience with such matters, you can ask our technical support for assistance.
