增補不推薦HostMonster原因：資料庫限制

之前才寫了不再推薦HostMonster，還沒完全脫坑完畢，現在又來煩我了，這次是資料庫限制

所以承之前的文章，要新增挫折。

挫折五：資料庫限制

HostMonster對於資料庫的限制很嚴格，也寫在Terms of Service裡。

 8.03. HostMonster does not set arbitrary limits on the amount of disk space a Subscriber can use for the Subscriber’s website, nor does HostMonster charge additional fees based on an increased amount of storage used, provided the Subscriber’s use of storage complies with these Terms. Please note, however, that the HostMonster service is designed to host websites. HostMonster does NOT provide unlimited space for online storage, backups, or archiving of electronic files, documents, log files, etc., and any such prohibited use of the Services will result in the termination of Subscriber’s account, with or without notice. Accounts with a large number of files (inode count in excess of 200,000) can have an adverse affect on server performance. Similarly, accounts with an excessive number of MySQL/PostgreSQL tables (i.e., in excess of 1000 database tables) or of database size (i.e., in excess of 3GB total MySQL/PostgreSQL usage or 2GB MySQL/PostgreSQL usage in a single database) negatively affect the performance of the server. HostMonster may request that the number of files/inodes, database tables, or total database usage be reduced to ensure proper performance or may terminate the Subscriber’s account, with or without notice.

這雖然是明訂的，不是什麼後加的限制，但很多人用Hostmonster，就是希望分攤主機成本，建多個站來平攤。把HostMonster的features拿來看，unlimited domain hosting是對的，但如果你是用WordPress，又加了一些聯盟行銷與會員站會用到的plugins，你最多最多能在HostMonster上放十個網站，之後就會出問題了，因為你超過了資料庫的限制。像Joseph的站，有一些比較複雜，八個站就達到了資料庫的限制了。

抱怨完畢，我繼續努力去脫坑。
