All script applications including forums or virtual shops keep their info in a database - a collection of cells and tables containing all the website info like items, prices, comments, and so forth. Anytime you open a certain page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the specified information, then shows it. The intermediary software which connects the script and the database is known as a database management system and among the most famous ones is MySQL. The latter is widely used as it can run on various platforms (UNIX, Linux, Windows) and with a range of scripting languages (PHP, Perl, Python, Java), not mentioning its wonderful performance even with massive databases. A lot of famous platforms such as Joomla™ or WordPress employ MySQL databases to save their content.

MySQL 5 Databases in Website Hosting

The in-house built Hepsia CP offered with our website hosting plans will enable you to take care of all your MySQL databases effortlessly. It requires just a few mouse clicks to create a new database and with just one more click you could back it up if you want to have a copy before you update your web site, for example. You shall be able to modify the password, delete a database or permit remote access to it just as easily. For the latter option you may choose the IP addresses which will be able to connect to the database remotely so as to ensure that unauthorized people won't be able to access your info. If you would like 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 will also be very easy as our script installer will set up a database for the script you have chosen automatically.
