If you use a script-driven app for your website, any data which both you and the website users generate will be stored in a database - a collection of information, that is arranged in cells and tables for simpler reading and writing. The latter is accomplished by using special software referred to as database management system and one of the most well-known ones around the globe is MySQL. A lot of script applications are designed to work with MySQL as it is easy to use, it functions very well on a hosting server and it is universal as it can function with common web programming languages (Java, PHP, Perl, Python) and on a variety of server OS (UNIX, Linux, Windows). There are literally thousands of scripts that use MySQL, including extremely popular ones like WordPress, Joomla™ and Moodle.
MySQL 5 Databases in Shared Hosting
The in-house built Hepsia CP included with our Linux shared packages allows you to take care of all your MySQL databases easily. It requires only a couple of clicks to set up a completely new database and with just one more click you can back it up if you'd like to have a copy before you update your site, for example. You will be able to change the password, erase a database or enable remote access to it just as easily. For the latter option you may pick the IP addresses that'll be able to connect to the database remotely in order to make sure that unauthorized people won't be able to access your info. If you'd like to view the database content or modify any cell or table via the Control Panel, you may use phpMyAdmin, a powerful web-based interface. Using any of our script-driven applications will also be very easy as our script installer will create a database for the script you have chosen automatically.
MySQL 5 Databases in Semi-dedicated Hosting
MySQL 5 is one of the database administration systems included with our Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages and you'll be able to set up and use any script application that requires a MySQL database effortlessly. Our innovative Hepsia CP will provide you with full control over any database which you create - you are able to change its password with a mouse click, export or import content and even access it remotely using an application set up on your personal computer. To make certain that no one else will be able to use the latter option, you'll have to include your IP address in the CP before you are able to access the database. If you require a web interface to manage a certain database, Hepsia will give you access to the feature-rich phpMyAdmin tool where you can edit specific cells and tables or run MySQL commands through your Internet browser.
