All script applications including forums or online stores store their information within a database - a set of cells and tables that contains the Internet site data such as items, prices, comments, etc. Every time you open a particular page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the specified information, then displays it. The mid-level software which connects the script and the database is called a database management system and among the most well-known ones is MySQL. The latter is widely used simply because it functions on several platforms (Windows, UNIX, Linux) and with a number of scripting languages (PHP, Java, Python, Perl), not mentioning its amazing performance even with large databases. Lots of widely used platforms such as WordPress or Joomla™ use MySQL databases to save their content.

MySQL 5 Databases in Cloud Hosting

The in-house built Hepsia Control Panel included with our Linux cloud hosting will enable you to control all your MySQL databases effortlessly. It requires only a few clicks to create a new database and with only one more click you can back it up if you would like to have a copy before you update your Internet site, for instance. You will be able to modify the password, delete a database or enable remote access to it just as fast. For the latter option you can opt for the IP addresses that'll be able to connect to the database remotely so as to ensure that unauthorized people won't be able to access your information. If you wish to see the database content or change any cell or table using the Control Panel, you may use phpMyAdmin, an effective web-based interface. Using any of our script-driven applications shall also be easy as our script installer will set up a database for the script which you have selected automatically.

MySQL 5 Databases in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You shall be able to use any script that requires MySQL with all of our semi-dedicated hosting packages as we have the latest version installed on all web servers - MySQL 5. Via our in-house built Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you will be able to easily create or remove a database, modify its password, back it up with just a single click or check out the hourly and daily access statistics for it. If you'd like to manage the content of a database directly, not through a script, you'll have two options - either employing the web interface of the phpMyAdmin tool, which is available inside the Control Panel, or using an app set up on your PC since we support remote database access. For the aforementioned option, you'll have to add your IP address from the hosting account first as an extra level of security against unauthorized access to your data.
