Unlike a static HTML Internet site where all content is on the actual site pages, any script-driven Internet site collects its information inside a database. Just a couple of examples of this sort of Internet sites are a WordPress blog or an OpenCart electronic commerce portal - in both cases, item listings, prices, blog posts, user comments etc are collected in the database and not in the actual script files. The more the info you add, the bigger the database gets and if your website hosting package has some limit for the maximum size a database could have, your Internet site may not work properly when you hit that limit. The effects can vary from being unable to add new data to inadequately functioning Internet site or even the website showing nothing but error messages and not being online at all.
MySQL Database Storage in Website Hosting
We use an innovative cloud Internet hosting platform and all databases set up in the website hosting accounts on it are handled by an independent cluster of web servers, so we have chosen not to limit the total space they can take. Any database in an account could be of any size, so the development of your sites won't be constrained, given that we can keep attaching additional web servers to the cluster if required for providing both more space and far better load balancing. If you run a discussion board, for example, you will not need to worry that too many users may join or that they could post way too many comments. Using our custom Hepsia Control Panel, you will be able to export or import a database of any size effortlessly. If you encounter any difficulties with this task, you can check our help articles and instructional videos or you could get hold of our tech support crew, that is available round-the-clock, including holidays and weekends.
MySQL Database Storage in Semi-dedicated Servers
The semi-dedicated plans that we offer use a custom cloud platform in which the files, databases and email messages are handled by their own clusters of machines. To put it differently, if you use such a plan, you’ll no longer need to worry about the size of your databases as there's essentially no limit for the database space - we may keep adding as many hard drives or whole web servers to the cluster as required. Therefore, any MySQL-based site which you host in the semi-dedicated account can easily grow without any limits. With the phpMyAdmin software tool, which can be accessed from the Hepsia website hosting CP, you will be able to import or export your databases with several mouse clicks no matter how massive they are. In case you lack previous experience with such matters, you could ask our tech support for assistance.
