Database Uploading Problem - Need Help with Large Database
Hello folks,
I’m in the process of moving my website from GoDaddy to Hostinger. However, I’ve run into an issue while transferring my database. My website’s database is 282MB, but Hostinger only allows a maximum upload size of 250MB.
Does anyone know how I can overcome this limitation? Are there any tools, tips, or workarounds to upload large databases to Hostinger?
Here’s what I’ve thought of so far:
- Splitting the database into smaller chunks (but I’m not sure how to do it safely).
- Compressing the SQL file (would this actually reduce the size enough?).
- Contacting Hostinger support (still waiting for a reply).
Any help, step-by-step guides, or suggestions would be highly appreciated!
Thanks in advance for your time and guidance.

Hey there! If you perform a database dump, that creates a file that is compressed and would likely be small enough to move without issue. Details on how you can perform that work can be found here:

Can you see if using that tool is an option on your GoDaddy account?
