If you use a script-driven application for your website, any info that both you and the site users generate will be stored in a database - a collection of information, which is organized in cells and tables for simplier and easier reading and writing. The latter is done by using special software referred to as database management system and one of the most widely used ones worldwide is MySQL. A wide range of script apps are created to work with MySQL because it is convenient to use, it functions really well on a web server and it's universal as it can function with famous web programming languages (Python, PHP, Perl, Java) and on several server Operating Systems (UNIX, Linux, Windows). There are loads of scripts that use MySQL, including quite popular ones for example WordPress, Moodle and Joomla™.

MySQL 5 Databases in Web Hosting

The in-house built Hepsia CP that comes with our web hosting plans will allow you to control all your MySQL databases easily. It requires just a few clicks to create a new database and with only one more click you could back it up if you'd like to have a copy before you update your Internet site, for example. You will be able to modify the password, remove a database or permit remote access to it just as easily. For the latter option you'll be able to choose the IP addresses which will be able to connect to the database remotely to ensure that unauthorized people won't be able to access your data. If you would like to view the database content or change any cell or table via the Control Panel, you should use phpMyAdmin, an excellent web-based interface. Using any of our script-driven applications shall also be super easy as our script installer will set up a database for the script that you have picked automatically.
