In comparison with a static HTML website where all content is on the actual site pages, any script-driven website stores its data in a database. A few examples of such websites are a WordPress blog or an OpenCart e-commerce portal - in both cases, item listings, prices, blog posts, user responses etc are stored in the database and not in the actual script files. The more the information you include, the more substantial the database becomes and if your 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 results can vary from not being able to add new information to badly performing Internet site or even the website displaying nothing but error messages and not being available at all.

MySQL Database Storage in Web Hosting

All web hosting accounts bought from our company are created on our custom cloud Internet hosting platform where each part of the web hosting service has its own cluster of servers. The databases are not an exception and since we can keep adding additional servers to the cluster which controls them, the space which you could use for your databases is practically unlimited. That way, you can easily develop your sites as much as you need and run any script that requires MySQL without ever being concerned that you will reach some cap and that your sites won't work adequately. You will also be able to freely export and import databases of any size via your Hepsia hosting CP. Provided you have any questions in this matter, you could ask our 24x7x365 tech support to help you with either one of these tasks.

MySQL Database Storage in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The Linux semi-dedicated hosting that we offer you use a custom cloud platform in which the files, databases and email messages are handled by their own clusters of servers. In other words, if you use such a plan, you will no longer have to worry about the size of your databases as there's essentially no limit for the database space - we could keep adding as many hard drives or whole servers to the cluster as required. Therefore, any MySQL-based web site that you host in the semi-dedicated account can easily evolve without any restrictions. Using the phpMyAdmin tool, which can be accessed from the Hepsia web hosting CP, you shall be able to import or export your databases with a couple of mouse clicks no matter how big they are. In case you don't have previous experience with such matters, you can always ask our tech support for assistance.
