All script apps such as forums or web shops keep their info in a database - a collection of cells and tables that contains all the Internet site data including items, prices, comments, and many others. When you open a specific page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the needed information, then displays it. The intermediary software which connects the script and the database is known as a database management system and amongst the most famous ones is MySQL. The latter is frequently used as it operates on several platforms (Linux, Windows, UNIX) and with a range of scripting languages (Java, Perl, Python, PHP), not mentioning its great efficiency even with massive databases. A lot of famous platforms such as WordPress or Joomla™ work with MySQL databases to keep their content.

MySQL 5 Databases in Web Hosting

The in-house built Hepsia CP that comes with our Linux web hosting allows you to manage all your MySQL databases with ease. It requires just a couple of clicks to create a brand new database and with only one more click you may back it up if you'd like to have a copy before you update your web site, for instance. You'll be able to modify the password, erase a database or allow remote access to it just as fast. For the latter option you'll be able to pick the IP addresses that will be able to connect to the database remotely so as to ensure that unauthorized people will not be able to access your info. If you wish to view the database content or change any cell or table from the Control Panel, you can use phpMyAdmin, an excellent web-based interface. Using any of our script-driven applications will also be super easy as our script installer will set up a database for the script you have chosen automatically.
