When you use a script-driven application for your site, any data which both you and the site users generate shall be stored inside a database - a collection of data, that is structured in cells and tables for simpler reading and writing. The latter is accomplished by using special software known as database management system and one of the most well-known ones world-wide is MySQL. A large amount of script applications are created to work with MySQL since it is easy to work with, it performs very well on a server and it's universal as it can function with well-known web programming languages (PHP, Java, Perl, Python) and on various server Operating Systems (Windows, Linux, UNIX). There are thousands of scripts that use MySQL, including quite popular ones such as Moodle, Joomla™ and WordPress.

MySQL 5 Databases in Cloud Web Hosting

The in-house built Hepsia CP included with our Linux cloud web hosting will enable you to take care of all your MySQL databases with ease. It takes just a couple of clicks to set up a brand new database and with just one more click you may back it up if you want to have a copy before you update your site, for instance. You'll be able to change the password, erase a database or enable remote access to it just as easily. For the latter option you may choose the IP addresses which will be able to connect to the database remotely to make sure that unauthorized people won't be able to access your data. If you would like to view the database content or edit any cell or table from the Control Panel, you may use phpMyAdmin, an efficient web-based interface. Using any of our script-driven applications will also be very easy as our script installer will set up a database for the script which you have picked automatically.

MySQL 5 Databases in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You'll be able to use any script that requires MySQL with all of our semi-dedicated hosting due to the fact that we have the most up-to-date version set up on all machines - MySQL 5. Via our in-house built Hepsia hosting CP, you'll be able to quickly create or remove a database, change its password, back it up with one click or examine the hourly and daily access stats for it. If you'd like to manage 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's available in the CP, or using an application installed on your personal computer as we support remote database access. For the latter option, you'll need to add your IP address through the web hosting account first as an added level of protection against unauthorized access to your information.
