PostgreSQL Database Storage
Learn how PostgreSQL database storage operates and the reason why you need this feature as part of your web hosting account.
When you use a database-driven script app for your site, all of the content that you or the website users add, will be saved in cells and tables inside a database, not as simple text in the app files. In contrast, HTML sites are static and all of the content on such a website is part of the actual HTML files. An online store app, for example, pulls all of the prices, items, user reviews, etc, from its database and this is the same for any other script that allows you to create a dynamic site. The more the data you put, the larger the database becomes, so when you use a script-driven site, you should make sure that your website hosting plan includes enough database storage space. The aforementioned applies regardless of what kind of databases you are using - for example MySQL or PostgreSQL.
PostgreSQL Database Storage in Cloud Hosting
In case you use our cloud hosting services, you will be able to expand the content as well as the user base of your PostgreSQL-driven websites as much as you would like since some of our plans provide unrestricted database storage. Even if you buy a lower-end plan, you will be able to upgrade either the database space feature or the whole plan, so as to have sufficient resources for your sites. We use a custom-made cloud platform and we have a whole cluster dedicated to the database storage. As no other processes run using these servers, the general performance is better and we'll add extra servers or hard disks if they're needed. Regardless of how many items you add to your online store or how many comments people leave on your community forum, you will never experience any problems due to limited database storage space.
