All script applications such as forums or online shops keep their info in a database - a group of cells and tables containing all of the website info including items, prices, comments, and so on. When you open a specific page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the specified data, then shows it. The mid-level software which connects the script and the database is called a database management system and one of the most famous ones is MySQL. The latter is commonly used simply because it operates on a number of platforms (Linux, Windows, UNIX) and with a number of scripting languages (PHP, Java, Python, Perl), not mentioning its fantastic efficiency even with large databases. Many well-known platforms like WordPress or Joomla™ employ MySQL databases to store their content.

MySQL 5 Databases in Shared Hosting

Our Linux shared hosting will permit you to host MySQL-driven Internet sites without any difficulty as our cloud platform has the latest management system version installed. You shall be able to create, erase and manage your databases without trouble using our custom-made Hepsia Control Panel. If you wish to migrate a website from another website hosting provider, you may use the phpMyAdmin tool which you could access from Hepsia, or you can connect remotely right after you've enabled this function for your IP address. In the same way you could also modify certain cells or tables inside any of your databases. Creating a backup is equally simple and requires simply a mouse click on the Backup button for a particular database. This feature will enable you to keep a copy of an Internet site on your PC or to export the content of a particular database, change 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 all of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting as we have the latest version set up on all servers - MySQL 5. Via our in-house built Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, you shall be able to swiftly create or delete a database, change its password, back it up with one click or check the hourly and daily access stats for it. If you want to manage the content of a database directly, not by using a script, you will have two options - either working with the web interface of the phpMyAdmin tool, that's available inside the Control Panel, or using an app installed on your computer as we support remote database access. For the abovementioned option, you'll need to include your IP address via the web hosting account first as an extra level of safety against unauthorized access to your info.
