All script apps including forums or online shops keep their info inside a database - a group of cells and tables which contains the Internet site info such as items, prices, comments, and so on. Every time you open a certain page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the specified information, then displays it. The intermediary software which connects the script and the database is referred to as a database management system and one of the most famous ones is MySQL. The latter is widely used because it can run on various platforms (UNIX, Linux, Windows) and with a range of scripting languages (PHP, Java, Python, Perl), not mentioning its wonderful effectiveness even with big databases. Numerous well-known platforms like WordPress or Joomla™ work with MySQL databases to store their content.

MySQL 5 Databases in Shared Hosting

The in-house built Hepsia Control Panel that comes with our shared hosting will allow you to manage all your MySQL databases without difficulty. It takes only a couple of clicks to set up a completely new database and with only one more click you can back it up if you want to have a copy before you update your website, for instance. You shall be able to change the password, delete a database or permit remote access to it just as easily. For the latter option you could pick the IP addresses that'll be able to connect to the database remotely so as to ensure that unauthorized people will not be able to access your data. If you would like to see the database content or change any cell or table from the Control Panel, you may use phpMyAdmin, a powerful web-based interface. Using any one of our script-driven apps will also be super easy as our script installer will set up a database for the script which you have picked automatically.

MySQL 5 Databases in Semi-dedicated Servers

You will be able to use any script that requires MySQL with any of our semi-dedicated servers considering the fact that we have the most up-to-date version set up on all servers - MySQL 5. Via our in-house built Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you'll be able to quickly set up or delete a database, change its password, back it up with just a single mouse click or examine the hourly and daily access statistics for it. If you would like to handle the content of a database directly, not through a script, you will have two options - either employing the web interface of the phpMyAdmin tool, that is available inside the CP, or using an application set up on your computer considering the fact that we support remote database access. For the latter option, you will have to include your IP address via the hosting account first as an additional level of safety against unauthorized access to your data.
