What to do when my mysql database runs out of storage space?

Question

I have a q2a website and my host provider (hostinger) allows to create databases with a maximum disk space of 3GB. What will happen if the databases runs out of storage? Will the users be able to ask, answer and comment.

Is there any way to link the old and new database(which i can create) and get the new entries registered into the new database.

Thank you

Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

All posts (questions, answers, and comments) are stored in the database. If the database runs out of disk space Q2A will obviously not be able to write posts to the database anymore, meaning that users will not be able to ask, answer, or comment. The attempt should throw an error, at least in the logs.

I'm not aware of a way to create/use the kind of "federated" database you describe in Q2A.
