If you use a script-driven platform for your site, it stores its information within a database and the bigger the site gets, the more information it gathers. As an illustration, if you start a web store, the size of the database which the e-commerce script employs will increase whenever you add more items. The same is valid for a forum script - the more users which register and the more opinions they submit, the bigger the database. If your websites become more popular or you just want to add more content, this could become a problem if your Internet hosting account has limited database space. What the particular effect of hitting the limit will be depends on the script - the Internet site could function properly, but you may not be able to include any new info; the website could be viewed with errors; or, in the worst case scenario, your whole website may simply go offline.

MySQL Database Storage in Semi-dedicated Servers

As our semi-dedicated server accounts work with an advanced cloud platform, we can afford to offer unlimited storage space for the MySQL databases created inside any such account while not compromising the quality of the service. Quite the opposite, the functionality is improved, due to the fact that an entire cluster of web servers handles solely MySQL queries and absolutely nothing else. We could keep growing the cluster storage and the processing power by putting in new web servers and hard disk drives, so you will never be confined in regard to the size of any of your databases. You can freely export or import any MySQL database through the phpMyAdmin tool in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel or you may ask our qualified professionals to aid you with this task in case you have no previous experience and you aren't sure what to do.
