If you use a script-driven app for your website, any information which both you and the site users generate will be stored inside a database - an accumulation of data, which is organized in cells and tables for simplier and easier reading and writing. The latter is accomplished by using special software known as database management system and one of the most widely used ones worldwide is MySQL. A number of script applications are created to work with MySQL as it is convenient to use, it works exceptionally well on a server and it's also universal as it can work with famous web programming languages (Java, PHP, Perl, Python) and on numerous web server Operating Systems (Windows, UNIX, Linux). There are huge amounts of scripts that use MySQL, including extremely popular ones for example WordPress, Moodle and Joomla™.

MySQL 5 Databases in Cloud Web Hosting

Starting or changing a MySQL database will be easy with each of our cloud web hosting services. That can be accomplished through our feature-rich Hepsia Control Panel in which you can set up or delete a database, create a backup copy with only one click or employ the efficient phpMyAdmin software instrument in order to edit cells and tables or import a whole database if you are moving a script-driven Internet site from another hosting provider. You can also enable remote access to any database inside your account and decide from what IP addresses the connection will be established, to guarantee the protection of your data. If you choose to use any of the script platforms which we offer with our script installer, you will not have to do anything as our system will create a new database and link it to the website automatically. If you encounter any problems to control your databases, you should check our help articles and instructional videos or get in touch with our tech support team.

MySQL 5 Databases in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You will be able to use any script that requires MySQL with any of our Linux semi-dedicated services as we have the most up-to-date version set up on all web servers - MySQL 5. Through our in-house built Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you shall be able to quickly set up or remove a database, modify its password, back it up with just a single mouse click or examine the hourly and daily access statistics for it. If you want to handle the content of a database directly, not via a script, you will have 2 options - either using the web interface of the phpMyAdmin tool, that is available inside the Control Panel, or using an app set up on your personal computer given that we support remote database access. For the abovementioned option, you will need to add your IP address through the web hosting account first as an added level of security against unauthorized access to your data.
