MySQL is among the most popular database control systems out there. A database is a set of cells with data which are arranged in tables and the administration system is the software which links the info to a script app. As an example, a forum stores all posts, usernames, avatars and so on inside a database and every single time a website visitor opens a particular thread, the forum script connects to the database and “calls” the content which should be shown on a certain page. MySQL is really popular because of its terrific performance, convenience and the fact that it can function with many popular scripting languages like PHP, Python, Perl, and so on. All dynamic sites which are built with a script-driven app require some kind of database and many of the most popular ones such as Joomla™, Moodle, Mambo and WordPress use MySQL.

MySQL 5 Databases in Shared Hosting

The in-house built Hepsia Control Panel included with our shared hosting plans allows you to manage all your MySQL databases easily. It takes only a couple of mouse clicks to set up a brand new database and with just one more click you can back it up if you'd like to have a copy before you update your web site, for example. You will be able to change the password, delete a database or enable remote access to it just as fast. For the latter option you'll be able to pick the IP addresses which will be able to connect to the database remotely to ensure that unauthorized people shall not be able to access your info. If you wish to view the database content or change any cell or table from the Control Panel, you may use phpMyAdmin, a powerful web-based interface. Using any one of our script-driven apps will also be easy as our script installer will set up a database for the script you have picked automatically.

MySQL 5 Databases in Semi-dedicated Servers

You shall be able to use any script that requires MySQL with all of our semi-dedicated hosting plans as we have the most up-to-date version set up on all machines - MySQL 5. Using our in-house built Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, you shall be able to easily create or remove a database, modify its password, back it up with just a single mouse click or check out the hourly and daily access stats for it. If you'd like to manage the content of a database directly, not through a script, you'll have 2 options - either working with the web interface of the phpMyAdmin tool, that is available inside the CP, or using an app set up on your computer considering the fact that we support remote database access. For the aforementioned option, you'll have to include your IP address via the web hosting account first as an additional level of security against unauthorized access to your information.
