If you use a script-driven platform for your site, it stores its information inside a database and the more substantial the website becomes, the more info it gathers. As an illustration, if you start an online store, the size of the database which the e-commerce script uses will increase as you add more items. Exactly the same is valid for a forum script - the more users that register and the more comments they submit, the bigger the database. If your sites become more popular or you would like to add more content, this may turn into a problem in case that your hosting account has limited database space. What the exact effect of hitting the limit will be depends on the script - the website could function properly, but you may not be able to add any new info; the internet site may be shown with errors; or, in the most severe scenario, the whole website may simply go offline.

MySQL Database Storage in Shared Web Hosting

Because of our custom cloud website hosting platform, we're able to offer unlimited space for the MySQL databases you create inside your shared web hosting account. Unlike many hosting providers that run everything on a single machine, we have a whole cluster that manages just the databases and nothing else. For that reason, not only is the efficiency better, but the cluster capacity is also infinite due to the fact that we could add more servers anytime if needed.
