All script apps including forums or web shops save their information inside a database - a set of cells and tables which contains the website info like items, prices, comments, and so forth. Every time you open a specific page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the necessary information, then displays it. The intermediary software that connects the script and the database is called a database management system and among the most well-known ones is MySQL. The latter is commonly used because it works on different platforms (Windows, Linux, UNIX) and with a number of scripting languages (PHP, Perl, Python, Java), not mentioning its amazing efficiency even with huge databases. Numerous famous platforms such as Joomla™ or WordPress employ MySQL databases to store their content.

MySQL 5 Databases in Shared Hosting

The in-house built Hepsia CP included with our shared plans will permit you to control all your MySQL databases effortlessly. It takes only a few clicks to create a new database and with only one more click you could back it up if you'd like to have a copy before you update your Internet site, for instance. You will be able to modify the password, delete a database or permit remote access to it just as easily. For the latter option you'll be able to choose the IP addresses which will be able to connect to the database remotely so as to make sure that unauthorized people won't be able to access your info. If you'd like to view the database content or edit any cell or table using the Control Panel, you may use phpMyAdmin, a powerful web-based interface. Using any of our script-driven apps shall also be super easy as our script installer will set up a database for the script you have picked out automatically.

MySQL 5 Databases in Semi-dedicated Servers

You shall be able to use any script that requires MySQL with any of our semi-dedicated hosting plans as we have the newest version set up on all servers - MySQL 5. Via our in-house built Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you'll be able to swiftly create or erase a database, modify its password, back it up with just a single click or check out the hourly and daily access statistics for it. If you'd like to manage the content of a database directly, not by using a script, you will have two options - either working with the web interface of the phpMyAdmin tool, that's available inside the Control Panel, or using an application installed on your PC given that we support remote database access. For the latter option, you will have to add your IP address through the hosting account first as an additional level of safety against unauthorized access to your info.
