Compared with a static HTML Internet site where all content is on the actual site pages, any script-driven website gathers all of its information in a database. Just a couple of examples of this kind of Internet sites are a WordPress blog or an OpenCart electronic commerce portal - in both cases, product or service listings, selling prices, blog posts, user feedback etc are gathered in the database and not inside the actual script files. The more the content you add, the bigger the database gets and if your website hosting plan has some limit for the maximum size a database can have, your website might not perform adequately as soon as you hit that limit. The consequences can range from being unable to include new content to poorly performing website or even the site showing nothing but error messages and not being available at all.

Due to our custom cloud website hosting platform, we are able to offer unlimited space for the MySQL databases which you create inside your cloud hosting account. In contrast to many website hosting providers that run everything on a single server, we have a whole cluster that manages only the databases and nothing else. Because of this, not only is the functionality better, but the cluster capacity is also limitless as we can easily add more servers anytime if necessary. Thus your Internet sites can keep growing without limitations.
