Q. How is the space for MS SQL database divided? Can I get more MS SQL database space than the limit on shared hosting plans?

Ans. The size of MS SQL database space is divided into log file + data file. For example, if database space is 300 MB that is 150 MB data file plus 150MB log file.

The Disk space limit on each web hosting plan includes your web space, email space as well as database space. You will need to upgrade your hosting plan to next better plan if you need more space for databases, e-mail accounts or web quota.
