What's the maximum MySQL database size allowed?

Short answer: Each MySQL database on Amicatek can store up to 1024 MB (1 GB) of data.

Details

At Amicatek, each MySQL database you create has a maximum storage allowance of 1024 MB (1 GB). Although databases are text-based and 1 GB can hold a lot (the average Amicatek customer's database is around 10 MB), some applications or migrations may require more space.

If you need more than 1 GB

  1. Create an additional database and split your data where possible.
  2. Consider archiving old or infrequently accessed data to reduce active database size.
  3. Use external storage for large media and reference them by URL rather than storing blobs in the database.
  4. Consider upgrading to a Linux package if you need to create more databases for a single website (WordPress hosting plans limit additional DB creation).

Platform limitations

Note: On our WordPress hosting platform you cannot create additional MySQL databases for websites — to add more databases you will need a Linux hosting package.
