MySQL is one of the most widely used database administration systems on the market. A database is a set of cells with info which are arranged in tables and the administration system is the software that links the info to a script app. For instance, a forum stores all usernames, avatars, posts etc within a database and every time a visitor opens a given thread, the forum script connects to the database and “calls” the content which has to be accessible on a specific page. MySQL is quite popular because of its terrific functionality, simplicity of use and the fact that it can work with numerous popular scripting languages such as PHP, Python, Perl, and so on. All dynamic Internet sites which are developed with a script-driven application need some type of database and a number of the most widely used ones like Joomla™, Moodle, Mambo and WordPress employ MySQL.

MySQL 5 Databases in Shared Website Hosting

The in-house built Hepsia Control Panel included with our shared website hosting will allow you to take care of all your MySQL databases with ease. It requires just a few clicks to create a new database and with only one more click you can back it up if you want to have a copy before you update your site, for instance. You shall be able to change the password, erase a database or permit remote access to it just as easily. For the latter option you'll be able to choose the IP addresses that will be able to connect to the database remotely to make sure that unauthorized people will not be able to access your info. If you'd like to view the database content or modify any cell or table using the CP, you can use phpMyAdmin, an efficient web-based interface. Using any one of our script-driven applications will also be easy as our script installer will set up a database for the script which you have picked out 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 servers considering the fact that we have the newest version installed on all machines - MySQL 5. Via our in-house built Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you shall be able to easily set up or remove a database, change its password, back it up with a single mouse click or check 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 employing the web interface of the phpMyAdmin tool, which is available inside the Control Panel, or using an app set up on your PC since we support remote database access. For the aforementioned option, you'll have to add your IP address via the hosting account first as an extra level of security against unauthorized access to your info.
