If you use a script-driven app for your Internet site, any information which both you and the site users create shall be stored in a database - a collection of information, that's organized in cells and tables for easier reading and writing. The latter is accomplished by employing special software called database management system and one of the most famous ones world-wide is MySQL. A wide range of script applications are built to work with MySQL as it's user-friendly, it performs exceptionally well on a server and it's universal as it can work with well-known web programming languages (Python, Perl, PHP, Java) and on several server OS (Linux, UNIX, Windows). There are huge amounts of scripts which use MySQL, including very popular ones for example Moodle, Joomla™ and WordPress.

MySQL 5 Databases in Shared Website Hosting

Setting up or modifying a MySQL database will be very simple with each one of our Linux shared website hosting. That can be performed through our feature-rich Hepsia CP through which you can set up or erase a database, create a backup copy with only one mouse click or employ the effective phpMyAdmin tool to edit cells and tables or import an entire database if you are moving a script-driven website from another hosting provider. You could even enable remote access to any database within your account and select from what IP addresses the connection will be established, in order to ensure the safety of your data. If you choose to use any of the script platforms we offer you with our script installer, you won't have to do anything simply because our system will set up a whole new database and link it to the website automatically. If you encounter any difficulties to manage your databases, you should check our help articles and video tutorials or make contact with our tech support team.

MySQL 5 Databases in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You shall be able to use any script that requires MySQL with any of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting given that we have the latest version set up on all servers - MySQL 5. Using our in-house built Hepsia hosting CP, you shall be able to swiftly create or remove a database, change its password, back it up with one mouse click or check the hourly and daily access stats for it. If you'd like to manage the content of a database directly, not by using a script, you'll have two options - either employing the web interface of the phpMyAdmin tool, that is available in the Control Panel, or using an app installed on your laptop or computer given that we support remote database access. For the abovementioned option, you'll have to include your IP address from the hosting account first as an additional level of protection against unauthorized access to your data.
