When you use a script-driven app for your site, any info that both you and the site users create will be stored in a database - an accumulation of data, that is structured in cells and tables for simpler reading and writing. The latter is done through special software called database management system and one of the most widely used ones worldwide is MySQL. A lot of script applications are created to work with MySQL since it’s simple to use, it performs very well on a hosting server and it's universal as it can perform with well-known web programming languages (PHP, Perl, Python, Java) and on several hosting server Operating Systems (Windows, UNIX, Linux). There are loads of scripts which use MySQL, including really popular ones for instance WordPress, Joomla™ and Moodle.
MySQL 5 Databases in Cloud Website Hosting
The in-house built Hepsia Control Panel that comes with our cloud website hosting allows you to take care of all your MySQL databases with ease. It takes just a few mouse clicks to set up a brand new database and with only 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 shall be able to modify the password, remove a database or enable remote access to it just as fast. For the latter option you can pick the IP addresses that'll be able to connect to the database remotely to make sure that unauthorized people will not be able to access your data. If you'd like to see the database content or modify any cell or table through the Control Panel, you can use phpMyAdmin, an effective web-based interface. Using any of our script-driven apps will also be very easy as our script installer will create a database for the script which you have picked automatically.
MySQL 5 Databases in Semi-dedicated Servers
You will be able to use any script that requires MySQL with each of our Linux semi-dedicated plans due to the fact that we have the most current version installed on all machines - MySQL 5. Through our in-house built Hepsia hosting CP, you'll be able to quickly set up or delete a database, change its password, back it up with a single click or check the hourly and daily access stats for it. If you would like to manage the content of a database directly, not by using a script, you shall have two options - either using the web interface of the phpMyAdmin tool, that is available in the Control Panel, or using an application set up on your PC as we support remote database access. For the abovementioned option, you'll have to add your IP address via the web hosting account first as an additional level of safety against unauthorized access to your information.
