If you use a script-driven platform for your website, it stores its data inside a database and the bigger the site becomes, the more data it stores. As an example, if you launch an e-store, the size of the database that the e-commerce script uses will increase when you add more items. Exactly the same applies for a forum script - the more users that register and the more responses they post, the bigger the database. If your Internet sites become more popular or you simply want to include more content, this might turn into a problem in the event that your web hosting account has limited database storage area. What the specific effect of hitting the limit shall be depends on the script - the Internet site may perform properly, but you may not be able to add any new information; the website could be viewed with errors; or, in the worst scenario, your whole website could simply go offline.
MySQL Database Storage in Shared Hosting
All shared hosting accounts bought from us are created on our custom cloud web hosting platform where every part of the Internet hosting service has its own cluster of servers. The databases are not an exception and given that we're able to keep adding extra servers to the cluster that controls them, the space you could use for your databases is basically unlimited. This way, you can easily expand your Internet sites as much as you want and run any script that requires MySQL without ever being concerned that you'll reach some cap and that your Internet sites won't perform properly. Additionally, you'll be able to freely export and import databases of various size via your Hepsia web hosting CP. If you have any questions in this matter, you may ask our 24/7/365 tech support to help you with either one of these tasks.
MySQL Database Storage in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you host your Internet sites in a semi-dedicated server account from our company, all of your MySQL-based script apps will work flawlessly as we do not impose any limitations on the size that your databases may have. We've achieved that by using a custom-built cloud platform in which the files, databases and email messages run on different clusters of servers, not on single machines. Thus, the system resources of a given cluster are virtually inexhaustible because we can add extra hard disk drives or web servers at any time as required. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, provided with all semi-dedicated accounts, will enable you to export and import databases of any size easily. If you use our Internet hosting services, your sites can evolve with no boundaries, allowing you to expand your worldwide web presence and get lots of new site visitors and potential customers.
