All script applications such as forums or virtual shops store their info inside a database - a group of cells and tables containing all of the website data including items, prices, comments, and so on. Every time you open a particular page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the specified information, then displays it. The intermediary software that connects the script and the database is called a database management system and amongst the most widely used ones is MySQL. The latter is frequently used as it works on a variety of platforms (Linux, Windows, UNIX) and with numerous scripting languages (PHP, Java, Perl, Python), not mentioning its amazing functionality even with big databases. Many well-known platforms such as WordPress or Joomla™ use MySQL databases to save their content.

MySQL 5 Databases in Shared Website Hosting

Our shared website hosting services will permit you to host MySQL-driven sites without problems as our cloud platform has the latest management system version set up. You'll be able to create, erase and manage your databases without difficulty via our custom-made Hepsia Control Panel. If you wish to migrate an Internet site from another hosting provider, you may use the phpMyAdmin tool which you could access via Hepsia, or you can connect remotely right after you have allowed this feature for your IP address. In the same way you can even modify specific cells or tables in any of your databases. Creating a backup is also easy and takes simply a click on the Backup button for a certain database. This function will allow you to keep a copy of a site on your PC or to export the content of a certain database, modify it on your end using some software, and then import it back.

MySQL 5 Databases in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You'll be able to use any script that requires MySQL with any of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting due to the fact that we have the newest version set up on all machines - MySQL 5. Using our in-house built Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, you shall be able to quickly set up or delete a database, change its password, back it up with one mouse click or check out the hourly and daily access statistics for it. If you'd like to handle the content of a database directly, not through a script, you will have 2 options - either using the web interface of the phpMyAdmin tool, that's available inside the CP, or using an app installed on your PC since we support remote database access. For the aforementioned option, you will need to add your IP address via the hosting account first as an extra level of security against unauthorized access to your information.
