All script apps such as forums or virtual shops save their information inside a database - a group of cells and tables which contains the Internet site data such as items, prices, comments, and many others. Anytime you open a particular page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the needed information, then displays it. The mid-level software that connects the script and the database is known as a database management system and amongst the most widely used ones is MySQL. The latter is widely used because it runs on a number of platforms (Linux, Windows, UNIX) and with a variety of scripting languages (PHP, Java, Python, Perl), not mentioning its amazing performance even with massive databases. Many popular platforms such as WordPress or Joomla™ use MySQL databases to keep their content.

MySQL 5 Databases in Shared Web Hosting

The in-house built Hepsia CP that comes with our Linux shared web hosting will permit you to manage all your MySQL databases easily. It takes just a few mouse clicks to set up a brand new database and with just one more click you can back it up if you'd like to have a copy before you update your web site, for instance. You will be able to change the password, remove a database or permit remote access to it just as easily. For the latter option you may pick the IP addresses which will be able to connect to the database remotely in order to make sure that unauthorized people won't be able to access your data. If you would like 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 apps will also be quite simple as our script installer will set up a database for the script that you have picked automatically.
