MySQL is one of the most commonly used database management systems available. A database is a set of cells with data which are arranged in tables and the management system is the software which links the information to a script application. For example, a forum stores all usernames, avatars, posts and so on in a database and every single time a visitor opens a particular thread, the forum script connects to the database and “calls” the content which has to be shown on a certain page. MySQL is quite popular because of its great performance, convenience and the fact that it can work with many popular scripting languages like PHP, Python, Perl, etcetera. All dynamic Internet sites that are developed with a script-driven application require some kind of database and many of the most widely used ones including Joomla™, Moodle, Mambo and WordPress employ MySQL.

MySQL 5 Databases in Web Hosting

You'll be able to use script-driven platforms that require a MySQL database with any of the Linux web hosting packages that we offer. You can easily set up a new database via the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and the total number of databases you can have at one time will depend on the package that you choose. We also provide you with advanced options to manage your databases, like a one-click backup and remote access. With the latter option you shall be able to use software on your PC to connect to a database on our servers and manage it. For easy management through the CP we provide the powerful phpMyAdmin tool, which will allow you to edit tables or cells and import or export whole databases using a web interface. If you use our 1-click script installer, our system will create a new database and connect it to the app you have picked automatically, so all you will need to do to get a script-driven website is 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 packages as we have the most current version installed on all servers - MySQL 5. Using our in-house built Hepsia web hosting CP, you'll be able to quickly set up or delete a database, change its password, back it up with just a single mouse click or check the hourly and daily access statistics for it. If you would like to handle the content of a database directly, not by using a script, you'll have two options - either working with the web interface of the phpMyAdmin tool, that is available inside the CP, or using an application set up on your laptop or computer given that we support remote database access. For the aforementioned option, you will need to add your IP address via the hosting account first as an added level of protection against unauthorized access to your data.
