All script apps such as forums or e-shops save their information within a database - a collection of cells and tables containing all of the website data like items, prices, comments, and so forth. Anytime you open a certain page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the necessary information, then shows it. The mid-level software which connects the script and the database is referred to as a database management system and one of the most widely used ones is MySQL. The latter is frequently used simply because it runs on a number of platforms (Linux, Windows, UNIX) and with a range of scripting languages (Python, PHP, Perl, Java), not mentioning its wonderful efficiency even with huge databases. A lot of widely used platforms including WordPress or Joomla™ use MySQL databases to store their content.

MySQL 5 Databases in Shared Web Hosting

Starting or editing a MySQL database is going to be very easy with any of our shared web hosting. That can be carried out via our feature-rich Hepsia Control Panel through which you can create or erase a database, create a backup copy with only one click or take advantage of the powerful phpMyAdmin instrument to modify cells and tables or import a whole database if you are moving a script-driven site from another hosting provider. You may also enable remote access to any database inside your account and decide from what IP addresses the connection shall be established, in order to ensure the security of your data. If you opt to use any of the script platforms that we offer you with our script installer, you'll not need to do anything simply because our system will create a whole new database and link it to the Internet site automatically. If you encounter any difficulties to control your databases, you can examine our help articles and instructional videos or get hold of our technical support.

You'll be able to use any script that requires MySQL with each of our semi-dedicated servers given that we have the newest version installed on all web servers - MySQL 5.

If you would like to manage the content of a database directly, not by using a script, you'll have 2 options - either using the web interface of the phpMyAdmin tool, which is available in the Control Panel, or using an app set up on your computer given that we support remote database access. For the abovementioned option, you'll have to include your IP address through the hosting account first as an additional level of protection against unauthorized access to your info.
