All script apps including forums or online stores save their info inside a database - a set of cells and tables which contains the website info like items, prices, comments, and many others. Whenever you open a specific page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the needed information, then shows it. The mid-level software that connects the script and the database is referred to as a database management system and amongst the most popular ones is MySQL. The latter is widely used simply because it can run on different platforms (Linux, Windows, UNIX) and with a range of scripting languages (Python, Perl, PHP, Java), not mentioning its fantastic performance even with massive databases. Lots of popular platforms including WordPress or Joomla™ use MySQL databases to store their content.
MySQL 5 Databases in Shared Website Hosting
Our Linux shared website hosting will permit you to host MySQL-driven sites without problems as our cloud platform has the latest management system version installed. You will be able to set up, erase and manage your databases effortlessly through our custom-made Hepsia Control Panel. If you wish to migrate an Internet site from another host company, you should use the phpMyAdmin tool which you may access through Hepsia, or you can connect remotely after you've allowed this feature for your IP address. In the same way you may also modify specific cells or tables within any of your databases. Setting up a backup is equally simple and takes just a mouse click on the Backup button for a particular database. This feature will allow you to keep a copy of a website on your PC or to export the content of a particular database, change it on your end using appropriate software, and then import it back.
MySQL 5 Databases in Semi-dedicated Servers
You shall be able to use any script that requires MySQL with each of our Linux semi-dedicated plans as we have the most up-to-date version installed on all machines - MySQL 5. Using our in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you'll be able to swiftly set up or remove a database, change its password, back it up with just a single click or check 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 two options - either using the web interface of the phpMyAdmin tool, that is available in the Control Panel, or using an application installed on your personal computer as we support remote database access. For the abovementioned option, you will need to include your IP address through the web hosting account first as an added level of safety against unauthorized access to your information.
