All script apps like forums or virtual shops store their information in a database - a collection of cells and tables containing all the Internet site information including items, prices, comments, etc. When you open a specific page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the specified data, then shows it. The mid-level software which connects the script and the database is referred to as a database management system and among the most widely used ones is MySQL. The latter is frequently used simply because it works on a number of platforms (Windows, Linux, UNIX) and with numerous scripting languages (Python, PHP, Perl, Java), not mentioning its fantastic functionality even with huge databases. Numerous popular platforms such as Joomla™ or WordPress use MySQL databases to keep their content.

MySQL 5 Databases in Cloud Website Hosting

You will be able to use script-driven platforms that require a MySQL database with any of the Linux cloud website hosting services we offer you. You can easily create a whole new database from the Hepsia hosting CP and the amount of databases you can have at one time is determined by the package which you pick out. We also provide advanced options to handle your databases, including a one-click backup and remote accessibility. With the latter option you'll be able to employ software on your PC to connect to a database on our hosting servers and manage it. For simple administration from the Control Panel we offer the effective phpMyAdmin software tool, which will permit you to edit cells or tables and import or export whole databases via a web interface. If you employ our 1-click script installer, our system will create a new database and link it to the application you have selected automatically, so all you will have to do to get a script-driven site is to click on the Install button.

MySQL 5 Databases in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You will be able to use any script that requires MySQL with each of our semi-dedicated hosting considering the fact that we have the newest version set up on all servers - MySQL 5. Through our in-house built Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, you'll be able to easily create or remove a database, change its password, back it up with one click or check the hourly and daily access statistics for it. If you'd like to handle the content of a database directly, not through a script, you shall have two options - either using the web interface of the phpMyAdmin tool, that is available inside the Control Panel, or using an app set up on your PC as we support remote database access. For the aforementioned option, you will have to include your IP address through the web hosting account first as an additional level of security against unauthorized access to your information.
