All script applications including forums or e-stores store their data inside a database - a group of cells and tables which contains the Internet site information such as items, prices, comments, and many others. Each time you open a certain page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the specified info, then shows it. The intermediary software which connects the script and the database is called a database management system and among the most widely used ones is MySQL. The latter is widely used as it works on a variety of platforms (UNIX, Linux, Windows) and with numerous scripting languages (PHP, Java, Perl, Python), not mentioning its excellent effectiveness even with huge databases. A lot of popular platforms including Joomla™ or WordPress work with MySQL databases to store their content.

MySQL 5 Databases in Shared Web Hosting

The in-house built Hepsia CP included with our shared web hosting service will allow you to control all your MySQL databases effortlessly. It requires only a few clicks to set up a brand new database and with one more click you could back it up if you would like to have a copy before you update your Internet site, for instance. You will be able to modify the password, delete a database or enable remote access to it just as fast. For the latter option you'll be able to opt for the IP addresses that will be able to connect to the database remotely in order to make sure that unauthorized people will not be able to access your info. If you would like to see the database content or edit any cell or table through the CP, you may use phpMyAdmin, a powerful web-based interface. Using any one of our script-driven apps will also be very easy as our script installer will create a database for the script which you have chosen automatically.

MySQL 5 Databases in Semi-dedicated Servers

You'll be able to use any script that requires MySQL with any of our Linux semi-dedicated servers since we have the latest version installed on all web servers - MySQL 5. Through our in-house built Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, you will be able to swiftly set up or erase a database, change its password, back it up with a single mouse click or check the hourly and daily access stats for it. If you want to handle the content of a database directly, not via a script, you'll have two options - either using the web interface of the phpMyAdmin tool, that's available inside the Control Panel, or using an app installed on your PC considering the fact that we support remote database access. For the aforementioned option, you'll have to include your IP address from the web hosting account first as an extra level of safety against unauthorized access to your info.
