MySQL is one of the most commonly used database admin systems available. A database is a group of cells with data which are arranged in tables and the control system is the piece of software which links the data to a script app. For example, a forum stores all usernames, avatars, posts and so on in a database and every single time a visitor opens a given thread, the forum script connects to the database and “calls” the content that has to be shown on a certain page. MySQL is quite popular because of its terrific performance, simplicity and the fact that it can operate with lots of popular scripting languages such as PHP, Python, Perl, and so on. All dynamic sites that are developed with a script-driven app need some kind of database and a lot of the most widely used ones including Joomla, Moodle, Mambo and WordPress work with MySQL.

MySQL 5 Databases in Cloud Hosting

You will be able to use script-driven platforms that require a MySQL database with each of the Linux cloud hosting packages we offer. You can create a whole new database from the Hepsia hosting CP and the total number of databases that you can have simultaneously is determined by the package which you opt for. We also provide you with advanced options to control your databases, like a one-click backup and remote access. With the latter option you will be able to employ software on your computer to connect to a database on our web hosting servers and manage it. For easy management via the CP we provide the highly efficient phpMyAdmin software tool, which will allow you to modify tables or cells and import or export entire databases using a web interface. If you employ our 1-click script installer, our system will create a completely new database and connect it to the application you have picked out automatically, so all you will need to do to get a script-driven website will be to click on the Install button.

MySQL 5 Databases in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You shall be able to use any script that requires MySQL with each of our Linux semi-dedicated packages given that we have the newest version set up on all web servers - MySQL 5. Using our in-house built Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you'll be able to quickly create or erase a database, modify its password, back it up with one click or check out the hourly and daily access stats for it. If you want to handle the content of a database directly, not by using a script, you'll have 2 options - either working with the web interface of the phpMyAdmin tool, that is available inside the Control Panel, or using an application installed on your PC as we support remote database access. For the aforementioned option, you'll have to include your IP address through the hosting account first as an extra level of security against unauthorized access to your data.
