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.
