MySQL is one of the most widely used database management systems out there. A database is a collection of cells with data which are structured in tables and the management system is the piece of software which links the information to a script application. As an illustration, a forum stores all usernames, avatars, posts and so on inside a database and every time a visitor opens a given thread, the forum script connects to the database and “calls” the content which should be shown on a certain page. MySQL is extremely popular due to its superb functionality, simplicity of use and the fact that it can work with lots of popular scripting languages like PHP, Python, Perl, and so forth. All dynamic sites that are built with a script-driven application need some kind of database and a number of the most popular ones such as Joomla™, Moodle, Mambo and WordPress work with MySQL.
MySQL 5 Databases in Shared Website Hosting
The in-house built Hepsia CP included with our shared website hosting plans will permit you to manage all your MySQL databases easily. It requires only a few clicks to create a new database and with just one more click you can back it up if you would like to have a copy before you update your Internet site, for instance. You will be able to change the password, delete a database or permit remote access to it just as fast. For the latter option you may pick the IP addresses which will be able to connect to the database remotely to ensure that unauthorized people shall not be able to access your information. If you wish to see the database content or change any cell or table using the Control Panel, you should use phpMyAdmin, an efficient web-based interface. Using any one of our script-driven applications shall also be easy as our script installer will set up a database for the script that you have picked out automatically.
MySQL 5 Databases in Semi-dedicated Servers
You shall be able to use any script that requires MySQL with each of our semi-dedicated plans considering the fact that we have the most current version installed on all machines - MySQL 5. Through our in-house built Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you shall be able to quickly create or delete a database, modify its password, back it up with a single mouse click or check out the hourly and daily access statistics for it. If you would like to manage 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, which is available in the CP, or using an application installed on your computer since we support remote database access. For the abovementioned option, you will have to add your IP address from the web hosting account first as an extra level of safety against unauthorized access to your info.
