Hosting Account Space Upgrade

I need more space. I am trying to upload a large database and need to upload the database to my folder through ftp first before importing into mysql.

Thanks

Hi lingo12473,

Apologies for the late response; it looks like this thread slipped by.

Please could you provide some more information about this large database? What is it for, and how big is it exactly?

Thank you,

I am using it as the backend of my website which will do player rankings for a game. It is about 1.5gb in sql form (~300mb in gzip). I tried gzip but the restore wasnt working as expected as I mentioned in my other thread, and someone on stackoverflow told me to try using .sql instead of .gz and see if that works, so I need more space to upload the .sql file and import that.

Thanks.

Since you've mentioned "player rankings", you've caught my attention.
What will be mainly using the database? An app or a website?

 

[lingo12473]

website. the app has an api that allows me to grab player information which i want to use to create a website that will rank players (the app itself doesnt do rankings)

It is kind of vague what is being used here exactly. Later on, someone should come on this thread with either a yes or no depending on what they find.

App provides: player name, level, scores. I get name, scores through their API into database and create rankings based on different criteria (total scores, scores by level, etc.).

bump. I know you are a little inundated with all the server issues Dead-i. just wanted to make sure the thread doesnt get reburied again. thanks

That's a pretty large database... What game is this for?

 

[lingo12473]

nevermind. thx for the help. due to recent developments in the game I am no longer interested in creating a website for it (aka the game went down the crappers).
