MySQL is one of the most commonly used database management systems in existence. A database is a group of cells with information which are arranged in tables and the administration system is the software that links the info to a script application. For example, a forum stores all usernames, avatars, posts etc in a database and each time a website visitor opens a specific thread, the forum script connects to the database and “calls” the content which has to be accessible on a specific page. MySQL is really popular due to its excellent functionality, simplicity of use and the fact that it can function with many popular scripting languages such as PHP, Python, Perl, etc. All dynamic web sites which are developed with a script-driven app need some type of database and a number of the most widely used ones such as Joomla™, Moodle, Mambo and WordPress work with MySQL.

MySQL 5 Databases in Website Hosting

You will be able to use script-driven platforms which require a MySQL database with each of the website hosting services which we provide. You can set up a new database through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and the amount of databases which you can have at a time is determined by the package you choose. We also provide advanced options to control your databases, like a one-click backup and remote access. With the latter option you shall be able to use software on your personal computer to connect to a database on our web hosting servers and manage it. For simple management through the Control Panel we provide you with the highly efficient phpMyAdmin software tool, that will permit you to change cells or tables and import or export whole databases using a web interface. If you use our 1-click script installer, our system shall create a whole new database and connect it to the app you have picked out automatically, so all you'll have to do to get a script-driven site shall be to click on the Install button.

MySQL 5 Databases in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You will be able to use any script that requires MySQL with any of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting due to the fact that we have the latest version installed on all 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 one click or check the hourly and daily access stats for it. If you want to manage the content of a database directly, not by using a script, you will have two options - either employing the web interface of the phpMyAdmin tool, that's available inside the CP, or using an application installed on your laptop or computer considering the fact that we support remote database access. For the latter option, you will have to include your IP address through the web hosting account first as an additional level of protection against unauthorized access to your data.
