phpMyAdmin is a powerful PHP-based tool which is used to control MySQL databases via a web interface. You could employ it to run MySQL commands, create, edit and delete cells, rows and tables or handle users with separate levels of access to the database in question. All these tasks can easily be performed from any device provided that you have a browser and access to the website hosting account where the database is. With phpMyAdmin, you can also export or import an entire database, which is an extremely helpful function if you need to migrate a website from one hosting provider to another. A variety of file formats are supported for the so-called dump file - CSV, SQL, XML and PDF, depending on what you would like to do - move the content from one web hosting account to another, preview an entire database in a spreadsheet app such as Microsoft Excel, and so forth.
phpMyAdmin in Shared Hosting
phpMyAdmin is featured as a part of our Linux shared hosting and you shall be able to access it at any time from your Hepsia Control Panel. All databases that you set up in the account will be listed in alphabetical order in the MySQL Databases section of the Control Panel and all it will take to access any of them will be to click on the tiny phpMyAdmin icon, which will be on the right side of each and every database. You will not need to enter any info, as you'll be logged in automatically in a new Internet browser tab. If you would like to log in by hand and not using the Control Panel, you'll be able to do that via our direct phpMyAdmin login page in which you shall have to enter the database username and password. This option is useful if you need to give access to a specific database to a third party, such as a web designer.
phpMyAdmin in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you have a semi-dedicated server plan through our company, you will be able to access phpMyAdmin to handle any MySQL database which you set up inside your account through the Hepsia hosting CP. A new tab shall open inside your browser as soon as you click on the phpMyAdmin icon for a specific database and you will be logged into the sophisticated tool automatically, so you will not need to type in the database username or password. If you would like to grant access to another person such as a web designer, for example, you could give them the database login info and they'll be able to log in through a direct link to phpMyAdmin, so they will never need access to your entire internet hosting account. This option will allow you to keep your files and emails safe at all times.
