Unlike a static HTML Internet site where all content is on the actual site pages, any script-driven site stores its data inside a database. Just a few examples of such Internet sites are a WordPress blog or an OpenCart e-commerce portal - in both cases, product or service listings, prices, blog posts, user responses and so on are collected in the database and not in the actual script files. The more the info you include, the larger the database becomes and if your website hosting package has some limit for the maximum size a database can have, your website may not function properly after you hit that limit. The consequences can vary from not being able to include new information to poorly functioning site or even the website displaying nothing but error messages and not being online at all.
MySQL Database Storage in Shared Hosting
All shared hosting accounts purchased from our company are created on our custom cloud hosting platform where every single part of the hosting service has its own cluster of servers. The databases aren't an exception and since we can easily keep adding extra web servers to the cluster that manages them, the space that you can use for your databases is basically unrestricted. This way, you could develop your websites as much as you need and run any script which requires MySQL without ever worrying that you will reach some cap and that your Internet sites won't perform as expected. You'll also be able to freely export and import databases of any size via your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. In case you have any questions in this matter, you can ask our 24/7/365 tech support to aid you with either one of these tasks.
MySQL Database Storage in Semi-dedicated Servers
The semi-dedicated hosting service which we provide use a custom cloud platform in which the files, databases and e-mails are managed by their own clusters of servers. Simply put, if you use this type of plan, you’ll no longer need to worry about the size of your databases due to the fact that there's essentially no restriction for the database space - we can keep adding as many HDDs or entire machines to the cluster as needed. For that reason, any MySQL-based site which you host inside the semi-dedicated account can easily develop without any limits. 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 few mouse clicks no matter how large they are. In case you do not have previous experience with such matters, you could always ask our tech support for help.
