MySQL is among the most commonly used database administration systems on the market. A database is a set of cells with info that are structured in tables and the management system is the software that links the data to a script app. For instance, a forum stores all usernames, avatars, posts and so on inside a database and each time a site visitor opens a specific thread, the forum script connects to the database and “calls” the content which has to be displayed on a certain page. MySQL is really popular due to its great performance, simplicity and the fact that it can work with many popular scripting languages like PHP, Python, Perl, and so forth. All dynamic websites which are designed with a script-driven app need some type of database and a number of the most widely used ones such as Joomla™, Moodle, Mambo and WordPress use MySQL.

MySQL 5 Databases in Hosting

The in-house built Hepsia Control Panel included with our Linux hosting service will permit you to control all your MySQL databases easily. It takes only a few mouse clicks to set up a brand new database and with just one more click you may back it up if you would like to have a copy before you update your website, for instance. You shall be able to modify the password, erase a database or permit remote access to it just as easily. For the latter option you may pick the IP addresses that'll be able to connect to the database remotely in order to ensure that unauthorized people won't be able to access your information. If you wish to see the database content or modify any cell or table from the Control Panel, you can use phpMyAdmin, an excellent web-based interface. Using any one of our script-driven apps shall also be quite simple as our script installer will set up a database for the script which you have selected automatically.

MySQL 5 Databases in Semi-dedicated Servers

You shall be able to use any script that requires MySQL with each of our semi-dedicated hosting service considering the fact that we have the latest version set up on all servers - MySQL 5. Through our in-house built Hepsia web hosting CP, you will be able to swiftly set up or delete a database, change its password, back it up with a single click or check out the hourly and daily access statistics for it. If you want to manage the content of a database directly, not through a script, you shall have 2 options - either working with the web interface of the phpMyAdmin tool, that is available inside the Control Panel, or using an app installed on your PC as we support remote database access. For the latter option, you'll have to include your IP address through the web hosting account first as an additional level of protection against unauthorized access to your information.
