MySQL is one of the most widely used database administration systems out there. A database is a set of cells with data that are organized in tables and the management system is the software which links the data to a script application. For example, a forum stores all usernames, avatars, posts etc inside a database and each time a website visitor opens a specific thread, the forum script connects to the database and “calls” the content which needs to be accessible on a particular page. MySQL is extremely popular due to its great efficiency, simplicity of use and the fact that it can function with numerous popular scripting languages such as PHP, Python, Perl, and so forth. All dynamic websites which are developed with a script-driven application require some type of database and a number of the most popular ones including Joomla™, Moodle, Mambo and WordPress employ MySQL.
MySQL 5 Databases in Cloud Website Hosting
You shall be able to use script-driven platforms which require a MySQL database with any of the Linux cloud website hosting that we offer. You can easily set up a completely new database from the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and the total number of databases that you can have at a time will depend on the package that you select. We also provide advanced options to handle your databases, such as a one-click backup and remote accessibility. 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 convenient management through the CP we offer the powerful phpMyAdmin software tool, that will permit you to change tables or cells and import or export whole databases using a web interface. If you take advantage of our 1-click script installer, our system will create a whole new database and connect it to the application you have selected 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 all of our semi-dedicated servers considering the fact that we have the most up-to-date version installed on all web servers - MySQL 5. Via our in-house built Hepsia hosting CP, you shall be able to quickly set up or erase a database, modify its password, back it up with a single click or check the hourly and daily access stats for it. If you want to handle the content of a database directly, not through a script, you will have two options - either employing the web interface of the phpMyAdmin tool, which is available inside the CP, or using an app installed on your laptop or computer given that we support remote database access. For the aforementioned option, you'll need to include your IP address via the hosting account first as an extra level of security against unauthorized access to your data.
