In comparison with a static HTML website where all content is on the actual site pages, any script-driven website stores all of its information inside a database. Just a couple of examples of this kind of sites are a WordPress blog or an OpenCart e-commerce portal - in both cases, product listings, selling prices, blog posts, user reviews and so forth are stored in the database and not inside the actual script files. The more the info you add, the bigger the database gets and if your web hosting plan has some limit for the maximum size a database can have, your Internet site might not function correctly as soon as you hit that limit. The effects can vary from being unable to add new information to badly performing Internet site or even the site displaying only error messages and not being accessible at all.
MySQL Database Storage in Cloud Hosting
We use a cutting-edge cloud Internet hosting platform and all databases created in the cloud hosting accounts on it are managed by an independent cluster of web servers, so we've made the decision to not limit the total space they may take. Any database in an account could be of any size, so the development of your websites will not be restricted, given that we can easily keep connecting extra machines to the cluster if required for providing both more space and better load balancing. If you run a discussion forum, for example, you'll not need to worry that too many users may join or that they could post far too many comments. Taking advantage of our custom Hepsia Control Panel, you shall be able to export and import a database of any size with ease. If you face any issues with this task, you should check our help articles and video tutorials or you could contact our tech support team, which is available 24/7, including holidays and weekends.
MySQL Database Storage in Semi-dedicated Servers
Because our semi-dedicated server accounts use an advanced cloud platform, we can afford to provide unlimited storage space for the MySQL databases created in any such account without compromising the quality of the service. On the contrary, the functionality is improved, due to the fact that a whole cluster of web servers handles just MySQL queries and absolutely nothing else. We can keep growing the cluster storage and the processing power by incorporating new servers and hard disk drives, so you'll never be limited when it comes to the size of any one of your databases. You can freely export or import any MySQL database through the phpMyAdmin tool in your Hepsia web hosting CP or you can ask our technicians to assist you with this task in case you have no previous experience and you are not sure how to handle it.
