If you use a script-driven application for your site, any information which both you and the website users produce will be stored within a database - a collection of info, that is structured in cells and tables for simplier and easier reading and writing. The latter is done by employing special software referred to as database management system and one of the most popular ones around the globe is MySQL. A number of script apps are designed to work with MySQL since it is user-friendly, it performs exceptionally well on a website hosting server and it's universal as it can perform with popular web programming languages (PHP, Java, Perl, Python) and on a number of hosting server Operating Systems (Windows, Linux, UNIX). There are thousands of scripts that use MySQL, including extremely popular ones such as WordPress, Joomla™ and Moodle.

MySQL 5 Databases in Shared Website Hosting

Setting up or changing a MySQL database shall be quite simple with any of our shared website hosting service. This can be accomplished using our feature-rich Hepsia CP through which you can create or erase a database, create a backup with just one click or use the powerful phpMyAdmin instrument in order to modify cells and tables or import a whole database if you are moving a script-driven site from another service provider. You can also enable remote access to any database within your account and decide from what IP addresses the connection will be established, to guarantee the safety of your info. If you choose to use any of the script platforms which we provide with our script installer, you won't need to do anything simply because our system will create a brand new database and link it to the Internet site automatically. If you encounter any issues to manage your databases, you can examine our help articles and video tutorials or get in touch with our technical support.

MySQL 5 Databases in Semi-dedicated Servers

You'll be able to use any script that requires MySQL with any of our semi-dedicated servers as we have the most current version installed on all machines - MySQL 5. Using our in-house built Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you shall be able to quickly set up or erase a database, modify its password, back it up with just a single click or examine 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 will have two options - either employing the web interface of the phpMyAdmin tool, which is available in the CP, or using an app set up on your laptop or computer as we support remote database access. For the abovementioned option, you will need to add your IP address via the hosting account first as an extra level of protection against unauthorized access to your data.
