Hello. For the 'unlimited plan', Godaddy's web hosting offers 'unlimited' databases (SQL Server & MySQL). However what beats me is the maximum size of each database, which is 200MB.
I am not sure if this is a challenge to many out there but it would be for me as the time passes. So what I am looking for is a mechanism to be able to grow the data across so many databases without having the application to worry about each database size limit.
Any advises?
Use a different hosting provider?
I couldn't see the amount of headaches (and query performance issues) that would arise from working around this being worth less than an extra $10/month.
This will never work. You create a major mess trying to spread your data over multiple databases, all with the same schema. You're much better off finding another host provider.
i have a 1.5 gb database on hostgator and still growing every day, if you need an alternative.
