All script applications such as forums or virtual stores save their data inside a database - a group of cells and tables that contains the site info including items, prices, comments, etc. When you open a certain page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the required data, then shows it. The mid-level software which connects the script and the database is called a database management system and one of the most well-known ones is MySQL. The latter is widely used because it runs on several platforms (Windows, UNIX, Linux) and with a range of scripting languages (PHP, Java, Perl, Python), not mentioning its excellent effectiveness even with big databases. Many popular platforms like WordPress or Joomla™ work with MySQL databases to store their content.
MySQL 5 Databases in Website Hosting
Starting or changing a MySQL database will be very easy with each of our Linux website hosting packages. That can be accomplished through our feature-rich Hepsia Control Panel through which you can create or erase a database, create a backup copy with only one mouse click or take advantage of the highly effective phpMyAdmin software tool in order to modify cells and tables or import an entire database if you are moving a script-driven site from another hosting company. You can even enable remote access to any database within your account and select from what IP addresses the connection will be established, as a way to ensure the protection of your info. If you opt to take advantage of any of the script platforms that we offer you with our script installer, you'll not need to do anything as our system will create a brand new database and link it to the website automatically. If you encounter any difficulties to control your databases, you can check our help articles and instructional videos or communicate with our technical support.
MySQL 5 Databases in Semi-dedicated Hosting
MySQL 5 is one of the database management systems included with our Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages and you will be able to install and use any script application that requires a MySQL database very easily. Our advanced Hepsia CP gives you full control over any database you create - you are able to modify its password with a mouse click, export or import content and also access it remotely through an application installed on your personal computer.
