If you use a script-driven app for your Internet site, any info which both you and the site users produce shall be stored inside a database - an accumulation of information, that's organized in cells and tables for easier reading and writing. The latter is carried out by employing special software known as database management system and one of the most popular ones worldwide is MySQL. A wide range of script applications are built to work with MySQL as it is convenient to use, it functions perfectly on a web server and it's universal as it can function with common web programming languages (PHP, Java, Perl, Python) and on a variety of hosting server OS (Windows, UNIX, Linux). There are literally thousands of scripts that use MySQL, including really popular ones like WordPress, Moodle and Joomla™.

MySQL 5 Databases in Shared Hosting

The in-house built Hepsia Control Panel offered with our shared hosting allows you to take care of all your MySQL databases easily. It requires only a few clicks to set up a completely new database and with only one more click you could back it up if you want to have a copy before you update your website, for example. You'll be able to change the password, remove a database or enable remote access to it just as easily. For the latter option you could pick the IP addresses that will be able to connect to the database remotely in order to ensure that unauthorized people will not be able to access your info. If you would like to view the database content or edit any cell or table using the Control Panel, you should use phpMyAdmin, an effective web-based interface. Using any one of our script-driven applications will also be quite simple as our script installer will create a database for the script you have selected 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 most up-to-date version installed on all machines - MySQL 5. Using our in-house built Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you will be able to easily create or erase a database, modify its password, back it up with one mouse click or check out the hourly and daily access stats for it. If you want to handle the content of a database directly, not through a script, you will have two options - either using the web interface of the phpMyAdmin tool, that is available in the CP, or using an application set up on your personal computer considering the fact that we support remote database access. For the abovementioned option, you'll have to include your IP address from the web hosting account first as an extra level of protection against unauthorized access to your info.
