When hosting your website or application, one of the most common questions is whether you can create unlimited MS SQL databases and have unlimited database size. The answer depends on the type of hosting plan you choose.

 

Shared/Reseller Hosting

If you're using Windows Shared or Windows Reseller Hosting, your ability to create MS SQL databases is restricted:

  • You can create multiple databases.
  • However, each database is limited as per the space allowed in the hosting plan.
  • If you need more space, you can contact the billing department to increase database storage capacity.

 

VPS or Dedicated Server Hosting

For developers and businesses requiring more flexibility, Windows VPS or Dedicated Server Hosting is the best option.

  • No restriction on the number of databases you can create.
  • Database size depends on the MS SQL Server Edition you select:
SQL Server Edition Max Database Size
Express Edition 10 GB per database
Web Edition Up to 524 PB per database

 

You will be prompted to select between MS SQL Server Express Edition or Web Edition when placing your VPS order.
