MySQL is one of the most widespread database control systems available. A database is a set of cells with info that are organized in tables and the administration system is the piece of software that links the information to a script app. As an example, a forum stores all posts, usernames, avatars etc inside a database and every time a visitor opens a specific thread, the forum script connects to the database and “calls” the content which has to be displayed on a specific page. MySQL is really popular due to its superb functionality, simplicity and the fact that it can operate with lots of popular scripting languages like PHP, Python, Perl, etc. All dynamic sites which are built with a script-driven app require some kind of database and some of the most widely used ones like Joomla™, Moodle, Mambo and WordPress use MySQL.

MySQL 5 Databases in Shared Hosting

Our Linux shared hosting will allow you to host MySQL-driven Internet sites without any difficulty as our cloud platform has the latest management system version installed. You'll be able to create, erase and manage your databases effortlessly using our custom Hepsia Control Panel. If you want to migrate a site from another web hosting provider, you should use the phpMyAdmin tool that you can access from Hepsia, or you can connect remotely right after you have allowed this function for your IP address. In the same way you can even modify specific cells or tables inside any of your databases. Creating a backup is just as painless and takes only a mouse click on the Backup button for a particular database. This feature will enable you to keep a copy of an Internet site on your computer or to export the content of a certain database, edit it on your end using appropriate software, and then import it back.

MySQL 5 Databases in Semi-dedicated Servers

You will be able to use any script that requires MySQL with any of our Linux semi-dedicated servers since we have the most up-to-date version set up on all web servers - MySQL 5. Using our in-house built Hepsia web hosting CP, you'll be able to quickly create or erase a database, change its password, back it up with just a single mouse click or check out the hourly and daily access statistics for it. If you'd like to handle the content of a database directly, not by using a script, you'll have two options - either working with the web interface of the phpMyAdmin tool, that is available in the CP, or using an application installed on your PC considering the fact that we support remote database access. For the latter option, you will have to add your IP address from the hosting account first as an added level of security against unauthorized access to your information.
