Database Resource Usage
MySQL database access is provided at no additional cost to owners of the
following account types: Advanced, Webmaster, Developer, Commerce, and
High-Volume.
QuickServe users may choose to have their own MySQL service on their dedicated
server, also at no additional cost. Use of our MySQL service is subject to the
conditions and restrictions shown below. The conditions do not apply on
QuickServe dedicated servers.
- Advanced Accounts are allotted ten (10) databases at no cost.
Webmaster Accounts are allotted twenty (20) databases at no cost. All other
qualifying individual accounts are limited to thirty (30) databases at no
cost. Additional databases can be configured, and will be charged
at the rate of $3 per extra database per month. The number of
databases will be calculated daily, and a monthly average will be used
to determine the charge for that month.
- No database may be used to act as a "hit counter," or for logging of
information distributed nightly in the raw web logs (including but not
limited to browser and page referrer information).
- Databases are limited to 15 concurrent connections. While this limit
is enforced separately for each username connecting to a database, it
is against policy to attempt to use the three usernames alloted to a
database to circumvent this limit.
- Advanced Account holders are limited to 1500 queries per hour, of
which at most 750 can alter data in the database (such as INSERT,
UPDATE, and DELETE queries).
- Each individual database is allotted up to 200MB (megabytes) of disk space.
pair Networks reserves the right to apply disk usage in excess of 200MB
against the account's disk quota.
- Databases may only be used in conjunction with pair Networks hosted
accounts. Access to databases from outside our local network is provided
strictly for site and database development.
- Databases may not be used to store binary data (including but not limited
to image, multimedia and application files). These files should be stored
within the user account and referred to in the database by a "pointer,"
if needed.
pair Networks reserves the right to require changes to database designs or
usage methods in any case where such designs or methods are found to have an
adverse impact on a database server and/or other databases on that server. pair
Networks reserves the right to disable any database determined to be
unacceptably harming performance of a database server.
More Information
This policy exists in order to protect the integrity and performance of
the database servers for all users.
For projects too database-intensive for the shared database servers,
QuickServe
dedicated servers are available.
