When you use a script-driven application for your website, any information that both you and the site users generate shall be stored within a database - a collection of data, that is arranged in cells and tables for simpler reading and writing. The latter is accomplished through special software called database management system and one of the most popular ones around the globe is MySQL. A number of script applications are created to work with MySQL because it is simple to use, it performs perfectly on a server and it's also universal as it can function with famous web programming languages (Java, PHP, Perl, Python) and on numerous hosting server OS (Linux, UNIX, Windows). There are literally thousands of scripts which use MySQL, including very popular ones for example Moodle, Joomla™ and WordPress.

MySQL 5 Databases in Hosting

You will be able to use script-driven platforms which require a MySQL database with each one of the hosting plans we offer you. You could set up a whole new database from the Hepsia website hosting CP and the total number of databases that you can have at one time will depend on the package that you opt for. We also offer you advanced options to control your databases, such as a one-click backup and remote access. With the latter option you shall be able to employ software on your computer to connect to a database on our servers and manage it. For simple administration via the CP we provide the efficient phpMyAdmin software tool, which will enable you to edit cells or tables and import or export entire databases via a web interface. If you use our 1-click script installer, our system shall create a whole new database and link it to the application you have picked automatically, so all you will need to do to get a script-driven Internet site is to click on the Install button.

MySQL 5 Databases in Semi-dedicated Servers

You shall be able to use any script that requires MySQL with any of our Linux semi-dedicated servers due to the fact that we have the latest version installed on all servers - MySQL 5. Via our in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you'll be able to swiftly create or remove a database, change its password, back it up with a single 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 shall have two options - either employing the web interface of the phpMyAdmin tool, that is available inside the CP, or using an app set up on your laptop or computer given that we support remote database access. For the aforementioned option, you'll need to add your IP address through the hosting account first as an additional level of protection against unauthorized access to your data.
