All script apps like forums or online shops store their data in a database - a set of cells and tables which contains all the site information like items, prices, comments, etc. Anytime you open a particular page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the specified info, then shows it. The mid-level software which connects the script and the database is known as a database management system and among the most popular ones is MySQL. The latter is commonly used because it works on different platforms (UNIX, Linux, Windows) and with numerous scripting languages (Python, Perl, PHP, Java), not mentioning its great efficiency even with massive databases. Lots of famous platforms including Joomla™ or WordPress employ MySQL databases to keep their content.

MySQL 5 Databases in Web Hosting

The in-house built Hepsia Control Panel offered with our web hosting will permit you to take care of all your MySQL databases with ease. It takes just a couple of mouse clicks to set up a brand new database and with just one more click you could back it up if you want to have a copy before you update your Internet site, for instance. You'll be able to modify the password, remove a database or allow remote access to it just as fast. For the latter option you may choose the IP addresses that will be able to connect to the database remotely in order to make sure that unauthorized people shall not be able to access your info. If you want to see the database content or edit any cell or table via the Control Panel, you can use phpMyAdmin, a powerful web-based interface. Using any one of our script-driven applications shall also be easy as our script installer will set up a database for the script you have chosen automatically.

MySQL 5 Databases in Semi-dedicated Servers

You shall be able to use any script that requires MySQL with all of our semi-dedicated servers due to the fact that we have the most up-to-date version set up on all machines - MySQL 5. Through our in-house built Hepsia website hosting CP, you'll be able to easily set up or erase a database, change its password, back it up with just a single click or check the hourly and daily access stats for it. If you want to manage the content of a database directly, not through a script, you will have 2 options - either working with the web interface of the phpMyAdmin tool, that's available in the Control Panel, or using an application installed on your laptop or computer given that we support remote database access. For the latter option, you will need to include your IP address from the hosting account first as an added level of protection against unauthorized access to your information.
