All script apps including forums or online stores store their data inside a database - a set of cells and tables which contains the website data like items, prices, comments, and so on. Anytime you open a specific page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the needed data, then displays it. The intermediary software which connects the script and the database is referred to as a database management system and amongst the most famous ones is MySQL. The latter is widely used because it can run on a number of platforms (Linux, Windows, UNIX) and with a number of scripting languages (PHP, Perl, Python, Java), not mentioning its fantastic functionality even with massive databases. Many famous platforms like Joomla™ or WordPress work with MySQL databases to keep their content.

MySQL 5 Databases in Hosting

The in-house built Hepsia Control Panel offered with our hosting plans will permit you to control all your MySQL databases easily. It requires just a couple of mouse clicks to create a new database and with one more click you may back it up if you'd like to have a copy before you update your site, for example. You shall be able to modify the password, erase a database or enable remote access to it just as easily. For the latter option you'll be able to pick the IP addresses that will be able to connect to the database remotely to make sure that unauthorized people will not be able to access your data. If you want to view the database content or edit any cell or table using the Control Panel, you may use phpMyAdmin, a powerful web-based interface. Using any one of our script-driven apps shall also be super easy as our script installer will set up a database for the script that you have selected automatically.
