In comparison with a static HTML website where all content is on the actual website pages, any script-driven Internet site stores all its information inside a database. A few examples of this sort of websites are a WordPress blog or an OpenCart e-commerce portal - in both cases, product listings, prices, blog posts, user responses and so on are gathered in the database and not inside the actual script files. The more the data you add, the bigger the database becomes and if your hosting plan has some limit for the maximum size a database can have, your site may not work properly as soon as you reach that limit. The results can vary from inability to add new data to badly working site or even the website displaying nothing but error messages and not being available at all.
MySQL Database Storage in Shared Web Hosting
If you get a Linux shared web hosting plan from us, we will never limit the growth of any MySQL-driven website which you host in the account since our packages come with unlimited database storage space. Although massive databases might have an effect on the overall performance of an Internet site regardless of the type of web hosting, we do not have a limit both for the total space all databases might take and for the overall size of 1 database. You could run an online store with as many items as you want or a forum without worrying that you may have to delete old posts or limit the amount of registered users you could have. Our Hepsia web hosting Control Panel shall also allow you to import or export databases in your account no matter their size. If you experience any issues with the latter, our technical support is available 24/7 to aid you.
MySQL Database Storage in Semi-dedicated Servers
The semi-dedicated servers that we offer you use a custom cloud platform in which the files, databases and e-mail messages are handled by their own clusters of web servers. Basically, if you use such a plan, you will no longer have to worry about the size of your databases for the reason that there is practically no limit for the database space - we may keep adding as many hard drives or entire machines to the cluster as required. As a result, any MySQL-based web site that you host inside the semi-dedicated account could grow without any limits. Using the phpMyAdmin software tool, which could be accessed from the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, you shall be able to import or export your databases with a couple of mouse clicks regardless how large they are. If you lack previous experience with such matters, you can ask our technical support for assistance.
