All script applications like forums or online shops keep their info in a database - a collection of cells and tables containing all of the site information including items, prices, comments, and so on. When you open a certain page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the specified 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 functions on various platforms (Linux, UNIX, Windows) and with a range of scripting languages (PHP, Java, Perl, Python), not mentioning its great functionality even with huge databases. Numerous famous platforms including WordPress or Joomla™ employ MySQL databases to save their content.
MySQL 5 Databases in Cloud Website Hosting
The in-house built Hepsia Control Panel offered with our Linux cloud website hosting will permit you to take care of all your MySQL databases without difficulty. It requires only a few clicks to set up a completely new database and with one more click you can back it up if you would like to have a copy before you update your website, for example. You'll be able to change the password, remove a database or permit remote access to it just as fast. For the latter option you'll be able to choose the IP addresses that'll be able to connect to the database remotely to ensure that unauthorized people shall not be able to access your information. If you want to see the database content or change any cell or table through the CP, you can use phpMyAdmin, a powerful web-based interface. Using any of our script-driven applications will also be quite simple as our script installer will create a database for the script you have picked automatically.
MySQL 5 Databases in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You shall be able to use any script that requires MySQL with each of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting since we have the newest version installed on all web servers - MySQL 5. Through our in-house built Hepsia web hosting CP, you'll be able to quickly set up or remove a database, change its password, back it up with a single mouse click or check the hourly and daily access statistics for it. If you'd like to manage the content of a database directly, not via a script, you shall have 2 options - either working with the web interface of the phpMyAdmin tool, that's available in the CP, or using an app installed on your laptop or computer considering the fact that we support remote database access. For the latter option, you'll have to include your IP address through the hosting account first as an added level of protection against unauthorized access to your info.
