Compared with a static HTML Internet site where all content is on the actual site pages, any script-driven site gathers all of its data in a database. A few examples of this sort of Internet sites are a WordPress blog or an OpenCart e-commerce portal - in both cases, product listings, prices, blog posts, user responses etc are stored in the database and not inside the actual script files. The more the data you add, the larger the database becomes and if your hosting package has some limit for the maximum size a database may have, your website might not function properly after you hit that limit. The effects can vary from inability to include new data to inadequately functioning Internet site or even the site displaying nothing but error messages and not being online at all.

MySQL Database Storage in Shared Web Hosting

Thanks to our custom cloud web hosting platform, we are able to offer unlimited space for the MySQL databases that you create in your shared web hosting account. Unlike many web hosting companies that run everything on one server, we have a whole cluster which handles just the databases and nothing else. Because of this, not only is the functionality better, but the cluster capacity is also immense as we could add more web servers at any time if required. That way your websites could keep developing without limitations. You can import or export any database no matter what its size through the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and the phpMyAdmin tool, which you can use to control your databases. If you want help, you may always check out our educational videos or communicate with our technical support representatives who shall aid you with any database-related questions within the hour.
