In contrast to a static HTML Internet site where all content is on the actual site pages, any script-driven website gathers all of its information in a database. Just a couple of examples of this kind of sites are a WordPress blog or an OpenCart electronic commerce portal - in both cases, product listings, prices, blog posts, user comments and so on are gathered in the database and not inside the actual script files. The more the content you add, the more substantial the database gets and if your web hosting package has some limit for the maximum size a database could have, your website may not function correctly as soon as you reach that limit. The effects can range from inability to add new content to improperly performing Internet site or even the site showing nothing but error messages and not being online at all.

MySQL Database Storage in Shared Web Hosting

Because of our custom cloud hosting platform, we could offer unlimited space for the MySQL databases which you create inside your shared web hosting account. In contrast to many website hosting providers that run everything on just a single machine, we have an entire cluster that handles solely the databases and nothing else. Because of this, not only is the functionality better, but the cluster capacity is also inexhaustible as we can easily add more servers at any time if needed. That way your Internet sites could keep developing without limitations. You can import or export any database irrespective of its size using the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and the phpMyAdmin tool, that you can use to control your databases. If you'd like assistance, you may always take a look at our instructional videos or make contact with our 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 that 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 such a plan, you will no longer need to worry about the size of your databases as there is virtually no limit for the database space - we may keep adding as many hard drives or entire servers to the cluster as needed. Therefore, any MySQL-based website that you host in the semi-dedicated account can expand without any limitations. Via the phpMyAdmin tool, which could be accessed through the Hepsia web hosting CP, you'll be able to import or export your databases with a couple of mouse clicks irrespective of how big they are. If you don't have previous experience with such matters, you can ask our tech support for help.
