All script applications like forums or online shops store their data inside a database - a collection of cells and tables which contains all of the Internet site data such as items, prices, comments, and so forth. Whenever you open a particular page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the required information, then displays it. The mid-level software which connects the script and the database is known as a database management system and one of the most well-known ones is MySQL. The latter is frequently used simply because it can run on different platforms (UNIX, Linux, Windows) and with a variety of scripting languages (Java, PHP, Perl, Python), not mentioning its excellent efficiency even with big databases. Numerous popular platforms such as Joomla™ or WordPress use MySQL databases to save their content.
MySQL 5 Databases in Shared Hosting
The in-house built Hepsia Control Panel included with our Linux shared packages will enable you to control all your MySQL databases without difficulty. It requires only a few mouse clicks to set up a completely new database and with only one more click you could back it up if you'd like to have a copy before you update your web site, for example. You'll be able to modify the password, delete a database or permit remote access to it just as fast. For the latter option you can choose the IP addresses that will be able to connect to the database remotely in order to make sure that unauthorized people will not be able to access your data. If you wish to view the database content or modify any cell or table via the Control Panel, you should use phpMyAdmin, a powerful web-based interface. Using any of our script-driven apps shall also be quite simple as our script installer will create a database for the script which you have selected automatically.
