When you use a script-driven app for your Internet site, any information which both you and the website users create shall be stored in a database - a collection of info, that's structured in cells and tables for simpler reading and writing. The latter is carried out by using special software known as database management system and one of the most widely used ones around the globe is MySQL. A wide range of script apps are created to work with MySQL as it is convenient to use, it works perfectly on a web server and it is universal as it can function with common web programming languages (Java, Perl, Python, PHP) and on a variety of hosting server Operating Systems (Windows, UNIX, Linux). There are hundreds of scripts that use MySQL, including extremely popular ones for example WordPress, Joomla™ and Moodle.
MySQL 5 Databases in Shared Hosting
The in-house built Hepsia CP included with our shared service will allow you to control all your MySQL databases without difficulty. It requires just a few mouse clicks to create a brand new database and with one more click you could back it up if you want to have a copy before you update your site, for instance. You will be able to change the password, delete a database or enable remote access to it just as easily. For the latter option you may opt for the IP addresses that'll be able to connect to the database remotely so as to ensure that unauthorized people shall not be able to access your data. If you wish to see the database content or edit any cell or table using the Control Panel, you may use phpMyAdmin, an excellent web-based interface. Using any of our script-driven applications will also be easy as our script installer will create a database for the script which you have picked automatically.
MySQL 5 Databases in Semi-dedicated Servers
You will be able to use any script that requires MySQL with any of our semi-dedicated hosting service as we have the most up-to-date version installed on all web servers - MySQL 5. Via our in-house built Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, you shall be able to easily set up or erase a database, modify its password, back it up with a single click or check out the hourly and daily access statistics for it. If you would like to manage the content of a database directly, not via a script, you shall have two options - either working with the web interface of the phpMyAdmin tool, that's available inside the Control Panel, or using an app installed on your personal computer as we support remote database access. For the latter option, you'll need to add your IP address from the hosting account first as an added level of security against unauthorized access to your information.
