Below are the limits of our shared MySQL services…
- 25 simultaneous connections per user*
- 32MB max allowed packet size
- 60 second inactivity timeout
- UTF-8 is the default database character set
- INNODB is the default storage engine, however MyISAM is still available
* The number of simultaneous connections a single user can make at any given moment. This limit is based on the username, not the IP address or location; it is 25 simultaneous connections at any one time. This may seem small, but considering that a single connection does its work and closes within milliseconds, this is really not a problem, even for the largest of websites.
