All script applications such as forums or e-shops store their info inside a database - a group of cells and tables which contains all the website information such as items, prices, comments, and so forth. Whenever you open a particular page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the specified information, then shows it. The intermediary software which connects the script and the database is known as a database management system and among the most well-known ones is MySQL. The latter is frequently used simply because it works on various platforms (UNIX, Linux, Windows) and with a variety of scripting languages (PHP, Perl, Python, Java), not mentioning its great functionality even with massive databases. A lot of popular platforms including Joomla™ or WordPress use MySQL databases to store their content.
MySQL 5 Databases in Website Hosting
You will be able to use script-driven platforms that require a MySQL database with each one of the Linux website hosting we offer you. You can easily create a new database via the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and the total number of databases that you can have at the same time depends on the package which you choose. We also offer you advanced options to manage your databases, including a one-click backup and remote accessibility. With the latter option you will be able to employ software on your PC to connect to a database on our web hosting servers and manage it. For easy administration via the Control Panel we offer the effective phpMyAdmin software tool, that will permit you to change cells or tables and import or export entire databases through a web interface.

MySQL 5 Databases in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You will be able to use any script that requires MySQL with each of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages due to the fact that we have the latest version set up on all web servers - MySQL 5. Via our in-house built Hepsia web hosting CP, you shall be able to easily set up or delete a database, modify its password, back it up with one click or check out the hourly and daily access statistics for it. If you want to handle the content of a database directly, not by using a script, you shall have two options - either working with the web interface of the phpMyAdmin tool, which is available in the Control Panel, or using an application set up on your personal computer given that we support remote database access. For the abovementioned option, you'll need to include your IP address via the web hosting account first as an additional level of security against unauthorized access to your info.
