If you use a script-driven application for your website, any info that both you and the site users create will be stored inside a database - an accumulation of info, which is organized in cells and tables for simplier and easier reading and writing. The latter is done by employing special software referred to as database management system and one of the most well-known ones world-wide is MySQL. A wide range of script applications are designed to work with MySQL because it is convenient to use, it works very well on a web server and it is universal as it can work with famous web programming languages (PHP, Java, Perl, Python) and on a number of web server Operating Systems (Windows, Linux, UNIX). There are thousands of scripts which use MySQL, including popular ones like Moodle, Joomla™ and WordPress.

MySQL 5 Databases in Shared Hosting

Starting or editing a MySQL database is going to be very easy with each one of our Linux shared hosting services. This can be carried out via our feature-rich Hepsia Control Panel in which you can set up or delete a database, create a backup with one click or take advantage of the highly efficient phpMyAdmin instrument to change cells and tables or import an entire database if you are moving a script-driven Internet site from another hosting provider. You can even enable remote access to any database inside your account and choose from what IP addresses the connection will be established, so as to guarantee the security of your info. Should you decide to take advantage of any of the script platforms that we provide with our script installer, you'll not need to do anything simply because our system will create a whole new database and link it to the site automatically. If you face any problems to control your databases, you should check our help articles and instructional videos or communicate with our tech support.

MySQL 5 Databases in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You will be able to use any script that requires MySQL with all of our semi-dedicated hosting as we have the latest version set up on all web servers - MySQL 5. Through our in-house built Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, you shall be able to swiftly create or erase a database, modify its password, back it up with a single mouse click or check out the hourly and daily access stats for it. If you would like to manage the content of a database directly, not through a script, you will have two options - either using the web interface of the phpMyAdmin tool, that's available inside the CP, or using an app set up on your laptop or computer as we support remote database access. For the latter option, you'll need to include your IP address through the hosting account first as an extra level of protection against unauthorized access to your data.
