All script apps such as forums or e-stores keep their information in a database - a group of cells and tables that contains all the Internet site information such as items, prices, comments, etc. Anytime you open a particular page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the necessary information, then displays it. The mid-level software that connects the script and the database is called a database management system and one of the most widely used ones is MySQL. The latter is frequently used as it works on a variety of platforms (Windows, Linux, UNIX) and with a range of scripting languages (Java, PHP, Perl, Python), not mentioning its great functionality even with huge databases. Numerous famous platforms including WordPress or Joomla™ use MySQL databases to save their content.

MySQL 5 Databases in Cloud Hosting

The in-house built Hepsia CP included with our cloud hosting will permit you to manage all your MySQL databases with ease. It takes only a couple of clicks to create a brand new database and with one more click you can back it up if you want to have a copy before you update your website, for instance. You shall be able to modify the password, remove 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 in order to make sure that unauthorized people won't be able to access your info. If you want to see the database content or edit any cell or table through the CP, you can use phpMyAdmin, an excellent web-based interface. Using any one of our script-driven apps will also be super easy as our script installer will create a database for the script which you have picked out automatically.

MySQL 5 Databases in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You shall be able to use any script that requires MySQL with any of our semi-dedicated packages given that we have the newest version installed on all web servers - MySQL 5. Using our in-house built Hepsia website hosting CP, you shall be able to quickly set up or remove a database, change its password, back it up with a single mouse click or examine the hourly and daily access statistics for it. If you want to manage the content of a database directly, not through a script, you will have 2 options - either using the web interface of the phpMyAdmin tool, that is available inside the CP, or using an application installed on your laptop or computer given that we support remote database access. For the abovementioned option, you'll need to add your IP address via the hosting account first as an extra level of protection against unauthorized access to your information.
