All script applications including forums or virtual stores save their info inside a database - a set of cells and tables which contains all the Internet site info such as items, prices, comments, etc. When you open a specific page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the necessary data, then shows it. The intermediary software that 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 widely used simply because it can run on a number of platforms (Linux, UNIX, Windows) and with a range of scripting languages (Python, PHP, Perl, Java), not mentioning its great effectiveness even with massive databases. Numerous widely used platforms like WordPress or Joomla™ work with MySQL databases to store their content.

MySQL 5 Databases in Shared Hosting

Our shared hosting plans will allow you to host MySQL-driven sites without any difficulty as our cloud platform has the latest management system version installed. You shall be able to create, remove and manage your databases with ease via our custom-made Hepsia CP. If you would like to migrate an Internet site from another website hosting provider, you may use the phpMyAdmin tool which you could access from Hepsia, or you can connect remotely once you've allowed this function for your IP address. In the same way you could also edit specific cells or tables in any of your databases. Generating a backup is just as easy and takes simply a click on the Backup button for a particular database. This function will allow you to keep a copy of an Internet site on your personal computer or to export the content of a given database, change it on your end using some 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 any of our semi-dedicated hosting plans considering the fact that we have the most current version installed on all servers - MySQL 5. Via our in-house built Hepsia website hosting CP, you will be able to swiftly create or remove a database, change its password, back it up with a single click or check the hourly and daily access stats for it. If you would like to handle the content of a database directly, not via a script, you'll have 2 options - either employing the web interface of the phpMyAdmin tool, that's available in the Control Panel, or using an application installed on your PC given that we support remote database access. For the latter option, you will have to include your IP address via the web hosting account first as an additional level of safety against unauthorized access to your information.
