If you use a script-driven application for your site, any information that both you and the website users produce shall be stored inside a database - an accumulation of information, that's arranged in cells and tables for simpler reading and writing. The latter is accomplished through special software known as database management system and one of the most famous ones globally is MySQL. A lot of script applications are created to work with MySQL because it’s easy to work with, it functions perfectly on a server and it's also universal as it can perform with well-known web programming languages (Python, PHP, Perl, Java) and on a variety of server OS (Linux, UNIX, Windows). There are hundreds of scripts that use MySQL, including popular ones for instance WordPress, Moodle and Joomla™.

MySQL 5 Databases in Shared Web Hosting

Starting or modifying a MySQL database will be very easy with each one of our Linux shared web hosting. This can be done via our feature-rich Hepsia CP in which you can create or remove a database, create a backup copy with just a single mouse click or use the efficient phpMyAdmin instrument in order to change cells and tables or import an entire database if you are moving a script-driven Internet site from another web hosting provider. You could also enable remote access to any database in your account and choose from what IP addresses the connection shall be established, so as to ensure the protection of your info. If you choose to employ any of the script platforms we offer with our script installer, you will not need to do anything simply because our system will create a brand new database and link it to the Internet site automatically. If you face any issues to control your databases, you can examine our help articles and instructional videos or get in touch with our technical support.

MySQL 5 Databases in Semi-dedicated Servers

You shall be able to use any script that requires MySQL with any of our Linux semi-dedicated plans given that we have the most current version installed on all servers - MySQL 5. Using our in-house built Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, you'll be able to quickly create or erase a database, change its password, back it up with just a single click or examine the hourly and daily access statistics for it. If you would like to manage the content of a database directly, not through a script, you shall have two options - either working with the web interface of the phpMyAdmin tool, which is available in the CP, or using an application installed on your laptop or computer as we support remote database access. For the aforementioned option, you will need to add your IP address through the web hosting account first as an added level of protection against unauthorized access to your info.
