MySQL is among the most widely used database admin systems in existence. A database is a group of cells with data which are organized in tables and the control system is the piece of software which links the information to a script application. For instance, a forum stores all usernames, avatars, posts etc inside a database and each time a website visitor opens a given thread, the forum script connects to the database and “calls” the content that needs to be accessible on a particular page. MySQL is very popular due to its superb efficiency, convenience and the fact that it can function with many popular scripting languages including PHP, Python, Perl, and so forth. All dynamic web sites which are designed with a script-driven app need some type of database and some of the most popular ones including Joomla™, Moodle, Mambo and WordPress employ MySQL.
You'll be able to use script-driven platforms that require a MySQL database with each of the cloud web hosting we provide. You could create a whole new database through the Hepsia website hosting CP and the total number of databases which you can have at the same time depends on the package that you choose. We also offer advanced options to control your databases, including a one-click backup and remote access. With the latter option you shall be able to use software on your PC to connect to a database on our web hosting servers and manage it. For convenient administration via the Control Panel we offer the powerful phpMyAdmin tool, which will allow you to change cells or tables and import or export entire databases via a web interface. If you take advantage of our 1-click script installer, our system shall create a completely new database and connect it to the application you have selected automatically, so all you will have to do to get a script-driven website will be to click on the Install button.
You shall be able to use any script that requires MySQL with all of our semi-dedicated servers considering the fact that we have the most current version installed on all machines - MySQL 5. Using our in-house built Hepsia hosting CP, you shall be able to quickly set up or erase a database, change its password, back it up with just a single mouse click or check the hourly and daily access statistics for it. If you want to manage the content of a database directly, not through a script, you'll have two options - either employing the web interface of the phpMyAdmin tool, that is available in the CP, or using an app set up on your computer considering the fact that we support remote database access. For the latter option, you will need to include your IP address through the hosting account first as an extra level of protection against unauthorized access to your data.
