When you use a script-driven app for your site, any info which both you and the website users produce shall be stored inside a database - a collection of information, which is organized in cells and tables for simpler reading and writing. The latter is accomplished by employing special software known as database management system and one of the most popular ones around the globe is MySQL. A wide range of script applications are created to work with MySQL because it is easy to work with, it works perfectly on a website hosting server and it is universal as it can function with common web programming languages (Python, Perl, PHP, Java) and on several web server OS (Windows, UNIX, Linux). There are thousands of scripts that use MySQL, including popular ones for instance Moodle, Joomla™ and WordPress.

MySQL 5 Databases in Shared Hosting

The in-house built Hepsia CP included with our shared hosting will allow you to control all your MySQL databases without difficulty. It requires only a few clicks to set up a new database and with only one more click you can back it up if you would like to have a copy before you update your website, for example. You'll be able to change the password, remove a database or allow remote access to it just as easily. For the latter option you may opt for the IP addresses which will be able to connect to the database remotely so as to ensure that unauthorized people shall not be able to access your info. If you would like to see the database content or edit any cell or table via the Control Panel, you can use phpMyAdmin, an effective web-based interface. Using any one of our script-driven applications will also be quite simple as our script installer will create a database for the script that you have chosen automatically.

MySQL 5 Databases in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You'll be able to use any script that requires MySQL with each of our semi-dedicated hosting services given that we have the most current version installed on all machines - MySQL 5. Via our in-house built Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you will be able to swiftly set up or erase a database, modify its password, back it up with just a single click or check the hourly and daily access statistics for it. If you would like to handle the content of a database directly, not via a script, you shall have 2 options - either employing the web interface of the phpMyAdmin tool, which is available inside the CP, or using an app installed on your computer considering the fact that we support remote database access. For the abovementioned option, you'll need to add your IP address from the hosting account first as an additional level of security against unauthorized access to your data.
