All script applications like forums or virtual stores store their data in a database - a group of cells and tables that contains the Internet site info including items, prices, comments, and many others. Every time you open a specific page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the needed info, then shows it. The mid-level software that connects the script and the database is called a database management system and one of the most popular ones is MySQL. The latter is widely used as it runs on various platforms (Windows, UNIX, Linux) and with a range of scripting languages (Java, PHP, Perl, Python), not mentioning its wonderful efficiency even with large databases. Many widely used platforms like WordPress or Joomla™ work with MySQL databases to save their content.

MySQL 5 Databases in Website Hosting

You shall be able to use script-driven platforms that require a MySQL database with each one of the Linux website hosting which we offer. You can easily create a whole new database through the Hepsia web hosting CP and the amount of databases that you can have at a time depends on the package which you opt for. We also provide you with advanced options to control your databases, such as a one-click backup and remote access. With the latter option you'll be able to employ software on your PC to connect to a database on our web hosting servers and manage it. For simple management via the Control Panel we provide the effective phpMyAdmin tool, that will allow you to change cells or tables and import or export whole databases through a web interface. If you use our 1-click script installer, our system will create a completely new database and link it to the app you have picked automatically, so all you will have to do to get a script-driven Internet site will be to click on the Install button.

MySQL 5 Databases in Semi-dedicated Hosting

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