Compared with a static HTML Internet site where all content is on the actual website pages, any script-driven site collects its information in a database. Just a couple of examples of this kind of Internet sites are a WordPress blog or an OpenCart e-commerce portal - in both cases, product listings, prices, blog posts, user responses and so forth 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 may have, your site may not perform correctly once you hit that limit. The effects can vary from not being able to add new information to improperly working website or even the site showing only error messages and not being online at all.
MySQL Database Storage in Cloud Hosting
All cloud hosting accounts bought from us are created on our custom cloud hosting platform where each part of the Internet hosting service has its own cluster of servers. The databases aren't an exception and considering the fact that we can easily keep adding more web servers to the cluster that manages them, the space that you could use for your databases is basically unrestricted. Thus, you can easily grow your websites as much as you would like and run any script that requires MySQL without ever worrying that you will reach some cap and that your websites will not function correctly. You will also be able to freely export and import databases of any size via your Hepsia website hosting CP. Provided you have any questions in this matter, you could 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 plans we offer use a custom cloud platform where the files, databases and email messages are handled by their own clusters of machines. Basically, if you use this kind of plan, you’ll no longer have to worry about the size of your databases due to the fact that there is practically no limitation for the database space - we could keep adding as many hard disk drives or whole machines to the cluster as required. For that reason, any MySQL-based website that you host in the semi-dedicated account could expand without any limits. With the phpMyAdmin software tool, which can be accessed from the Hepsia Internet hosting CP, you will be able to import or export your databases with a few mouse clicks regardless of how big they are. In case you lack previous experience with such matters, you can always ask our tech support team for assistance.
