All script applications such as forums or virtual stores keep their information within a database - a collection of cells and tables which contains all the Internet site information like items, prices, comments, and many others. Anytime you open a particular page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the required information, then displays it. The intermediary software which connects the script and the database is known as a database management system and one of the most widely used ones is MySQL. The latter is widely used as it functions on a number of platforms (Windows, UNIX, Linux) and with numerous scripting languages (PHP, Java, Python, Perl), not mentioning its great efficiency even with large databases. Many popular platforms such as Joomla™ or WordPress use MySQL databases to store their content.
MySQL 5 Databases in Shared Hosting
Our Linux shared hosting allow you to host MySQL-driven websites without problems as our cloud platform has the latest management system version set up. You will be able to set up, remove and manage your databases effortlessly through our custom-made Hepsia Control Panel. If you want to migrate a site from another web hosting company, you may use the phpMyAdmin tool which you could access via Hepsia, or you can connect remotely after you've allowed this function for your IP address. In the same way you may also edit certain cells or tables in any of your databases. Setting up a backup is just as simple and requires just a mouse click on the Backup button for a particular database. This feature will allow you to keep a copy of a site on your PC or to export the content of a certain database, change it on your end using appropriate 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 each of our semi-dedicated servers given that we have the newest version set up on all servers - MySQL 5. Via our in-house built Hepsia website hosting CP, you'll be able to quickly create or remove a database, change its password, back it up with a single click or examine the hourly and daily access stats for it. If you'd like to manage the content of a database directly, not through a script, you'll have two options - either working with the web interface of the phpMyAdmin tool, that is available inside the Control Panel, or using an app installed on your laptop or computer as we support remote database access. For the abovementioned option, you'll need to add your IP address through the web hosting account first as an added level of protection against unauthorized access to your info.
