If you use a script-driven platform for your Internet site, it stores its data within a database and the larger the website becomes, the more info it collects. As an illustration, if you launch a web-based store, the size of the database which the e-commerce script uses will increase as you add more items. The exact same applies for a forum script - the more users which register and the more comments they post, the bigger the database. If your Internet sites gain popularity or you just want to add more content, this could develop into a problem in the event that your website hosting account has limited database storage space. What the exact effect of geting to the limit shall be depends on the script - the site can function adequately, but you may not be able to include any new info; the website may be viewed with errors; or, in the worst case scenario, your whole internet site might go offline.
MySQL Database Storage in Cloud Hosting
We use a state-of-the-art cloud website hosting platform and all databases set up in the cloud hosting accounts on it are handled by a separate cluster of web servers, so we've made a decision not to limit the total space they can take. Every database inside an account may be of any size, so the development of your websites shall not be restricted, due to the fact that we can easily keep attaching extra web servers to the cluster if necessary for providing both more space and much better load balancing. In the event you run a discussion forum, for example, you won't have to worry that way too many users may join or that they might post far too many comments. Using our custom Hepsia Control Panel, you shall be able to export and import a database of any size without difficulty. If you face any issues with this task, you can look at our help articles and video lessons or you may get in touch with our tech support crew, that is available round-the-clock, including holidays & weekends.
MySQL Database Storage in Semi-dedicated Servers
You will not have any troubles with the size of your MySQL databases in case you have a semi-dedicated server from us due to the fact that unlike many other web hosting service providers, we don't run everything on a single machine. Instead, we use a cloud platform, so a whole cluster of web servers is dedicated to managing the databases of our clients. When more power or space is needed, we can just attach more servers or hard drives to the cluster, so the storage space is basically inexhaustible. With our services, you may develop your websites or popularize them as much as you want without having to worry that your MySQL databases will grow too much. No matter the size of a particular database, you will be able to export or import it with ease using your hosting CP.
