MySQL is one of the most commonly used database control systems out there. A database is a set of cells with information that are arranged in tables and the management system is the software that links the information to a script application. As an illustration, a forum stores all usernames, avatars, posts etc within a database and every single time a site visitor opens a given thread, the forum script connects to the database and “calls” the content that should be shown on a certain page. MySQL is quite popular due to its superb efficiency, simplicity and the fact that it can function with lots of popular scripting languages like PHP, Python, Perl, and so on. All dynamic websites that are developed with a script-driven app need some kind of database and many of the most popular ones including Joomla™, Moodle, Mambo and WordPress employ MySQL.

MySQL 5 Databases in Web Hosting

The in-house built Hepsia Control Panel included with our web hosting plans will enable you to manage all your MySQL databases easily. It requires just a few mouse clicks to create a completely new database and with only one more click you could back it up if you'd like to have a copy before you update your website, for example. You shall be able to modify the password, remove a database or allow remote access to it just as fast. For the latter option you'll be able to opt for the IP addresses which will be able to connect to the database remotely in order to ensure that unauthorized people will not be able to access your data. If you want to see the database content or modify any cell or table from the Control Panel, you should use phpMyAdmin, an effective web-based interface. Using any of our script-driven apps will also be super easy as our script installer will create a database for the script that you have picked out automatically.
