All script applications like forums or e-shops save their info within a database - a collection of cells and tables containing the website info including items, prices, comments, and many others. Each time you open a particular page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the specified info, then shows it. The mid-level software that connects the script and the database is referred to as a database management system and among the most widely used ones is MySQL. The latter is commonly used because it operates on a variety of platforms (Windows, UNIX, Linux) and with numerous scripting languages (Java, PHP, Perl, Python), not mentioning its fantastic functionality even with large databases. Numerous well-known platforms like Joomla™ or WordPress employ MySQL databases to store their content.

MySQL 5 Databases in Shared Hosting

You shall be able to use script-driven platforms which require a MySQL database with any of the Linux shared services which we offer you. You can set up a completely new database via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and the amount of databases you can have at one time is determined by the package that you pick out. We also offer you advanced options to manage your databases, like a one-click backup and remote accessibility. With the latter option you shall be able to use software on your computer to connect to a database on our website hosting servers and manage it. For convenient management through the Control Panel we provide the powerful phpMyAdmin tool, that will permit you to modify cells or tables and import or export whole databases via a web interface. If you use our 1-click script installer, our system shall create a brand new database and link it to the application you have chosen automatically, so all you'll have to do to get a script-driven Internet site shall be to click on the Install button.

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 due to the fact that we have the most up-to-date version installed on all machines - MySQL 5. Via our in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you shall be able to quickly create or remove a database, change its password, back it up with just a single mouse click or examine 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 will have two options - either working with the web interface of the phpMyAdmin tool, that's available in the CP, or using an application installed on your personal computer considering the fact that we support remote database access. For the abovementioned option, you will have to include your IP address via the hosting account first as an additional level of protection against unauthorized access to your info.
