All script applications including forums or web stores keep their information inside a database - a set of cells and tables that contains the site information including items, prices, comments, and many others. Anytime you open a specific page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the required info, then shows it. The mid-level software which connects the script and the database is known as a database management system and among the most widely used ones is MySQL. The latter is frequently used simply because it can run on a number of platforms (Windows, Linux, UNIX) and with a range of scripting languages (Java, Perl, Python, PHP), not mentioning its wonderful effectiveness even with huge databases. Lots of widely used platforms such as Joomla™ or WordPress employ MySQL databases to keep their content.
MySQL 5 Databases in Cloud Hosting
You'll be able to use script-driven platforms that require a MySQL database with each of the Linux cloud hosting that we offer you. You can create a new database from your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and the amount of databases that you can have simultaneously is determined by the package you opt for. We also offer you advanced options to manage your databases, including a one-click backup and remote access. With the latter option you will be able to use software on your personal computer to connect to a database on our hosting servers and manage it. For easy management via the CP we offer the effective phpMyAdmin tool, that will enable you to modify tables or cells and import or export whole databases via a web interface. If you use our 1-click script installer, our system will create a whole new database and link it to the app you have chosen automatically, so all you will need to do to get a script-driven site shall be to click on the Install button.
MySQL 5 Databases in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You shall be able to use any script that requires MySQL with all of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting due to the fact that we have the latest version installed on all web servers - MySQL 5. Through our in-house built Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you shall be able to quickly create or erase a database, modify its password, back it up with just a single click or check out the hourly and daily access stats for it. If you'd like to manage the content of a database directly, not via a script, you'll have two options - either employing the web interface of the phpMyAdmin tool, that's available in the Control Panel, or using an app set up on your personal computer given that we support remote database access. For the latter option, you'll need to add your IP address from the hosting account first as an additional level of protection against unauthorized access to your information.
