If you use a script-driven app for your Internet site, any data that both you and the site users generate will be stored in a database - an accumulation of data, that is structured in cells and tables for easier reading and writing. The latter is done by using special software called database management system and one of the most famous ones around the globe is MySQL. A wide range of script apps are designed to work with MySQL since it’s easy to use, it performs perfectly on a web server and it's also universal as it can work with well-known web programming languages (Java, PHP, Perl, Python) and on numerous hosting server OS (Linux, UNIX, Windows). There are loads of scripts which use MySQL, including really popular ones for example WordPress, Joomla™ and Moodle.

MySQL 5 Databases in Shared Website Hosting

Starting or changing a MySQL database shall be really easy with each one of our shared website hosting plans. That can be performed via our feature-rich Hepsia CP through which you can set up or delete a database, create a backup copy with just a single click or employ the highly efficient phpMyAdmin instrument to modify cells and tables or import an entire database if you are moving a script-driven site from another hosting provider. You could even enable remote access to any database inside your account and choose from what IP addresses the connection will be established, in order to ensure the security of your data. If you opt to take advantage of any of the script platforms that we offer with our script installer, you will not need to do anything simply because our system will create a whole new database and link it to the Internet site automatically. If you encounter any difficulties to control your databases, you should check our help articles and training videos or get in touch with our tech support.

MySQL 5 Databases in Semi-dedicated Servers

You shall be able to use any script that requires MySQL with all of our semi-dedicated plans since we have the most up-to-date version installed on all machines - MySQL 5. Using our in-house built Hepsia website hosting CP, you will be able to swiftly set up or erase a database, modify its password, back it up with one click or examine the hourly and daily access statistics for it. If you would like to manage the content of a database directly, not via a script, you'll have two options - either using the web interface of the phpMyAdmin tool, that's available inside the CP, or using an app installed on your PC as we support remote database access. For the latter option, you'll have to include your IP address through the hosting account first as an additional level of safety against unauthorized access to your information.
