MySQL is among the most commonly used database control systems in existence. A database is a set of cells with information which are structured in tables and the management system is the piece of software which links the data to a script application. As an illustration, a forum stores all posts, usernames, avatars etc within a database and every time a visitor opens a specific thread, the forum script connects to the database and “calls” the content that should be shown on a specific page. MySQL is extremely popular due to its superb efficiency, simplicity of use and the fact that it can operate with many popular scripting languages like PHP, Python, Perl, etcetera. All dynamic websites that are built with a script-driven application need some type of database and some of the most widely used ones like Joomla™, Moodle, Mambo and WordPress work with MySQL.

MySQL 5 Databases in Shared Hosting

The in-house built Hepsia Control Panel included with our shared hosting plans will enable you to manage all your MySQL databases effortlessly. It takes only a few mouse clicks to set up a completely new database and with just one more click you could back it up if you would like to have a copy before you update your website, for instance. You'll be able to change the password, remove a database or enable remote access to it just as easily. For the latter option you'll be able to opt for the IP addresses that'll be able to connect to the database remotely to make sure that unauthorized people shall not be able to access your information. If you wish to view the database content or modify any cell or table from the CP, you may use phpMyAdmin, a powerful web-based interface. Using any one of our script-driven applications shall also be super easy as our script installer will create a database for the script you have selected automatically.

MySQL 5 Databases in Semi-dedicated Servers

You will be able to use any script that requires MySQL with each of our semi-dedicated hosting plans since we have the most current version set up on all web servers - MySQL 5. Using our in-house built Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, you will be able to easily create or delete a database, modify its password, back it up with just a single click or check out the hourly and daily access statistics for it. If you'd like to manage the content of a database directly, not via a script, you shall have 2 options - either employing the web interface of the phpMyAdmin tool, that is available inside the Control Panel, or using an application installed on your personal computer as we support remote database access. For the aforementioned option, you'll need to add your IP address via the web hosting account first as an added level of safety against unauthorized access to your data.
