MySQL is one of the most widespread database admin systems in existence. A database is a collection of cells with information which are structured in tables and the administration system is the software which links the information to a script app. For example, a forum stores all posts, usernames, avatars etc in a database and every time a website visitor opens a particular thread, the forum script connects to the database and “calls” the content which needs to be accessible on a certain page. MySQL is quite popular due to its great performance, ease of use and the fact that it can work with lots of popular scripting languages including PHP, Python, Perl, and so forth. All dynamic web sites that are designed with a script-driven application require some form of database and many of the most popular ones including Joomla™, Moodle, Mambo and WordPress work with MySQL.

MySQL 5 Databases in Shared Web Hosting

You will be able to use script-driven platforms which require a MySQL database with each one of the shared web hosting which we offer. You can set up a completely new database from your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and the total number of databases you can have at the same time will depend on the package that you opt for. We also offer advanced options to manage your databases, like a one-click backup and remote accessibility. With the latter option you will be able to use software on your computer to connect to a database on our hosting servers and manage it. For convenient management from the CP we provide you with the powerful phpMyAdmin tool, which will permit you to edit tables or cells and import or export entire databases through a web interface. If you employ our 1-click script installer, our system will create a brand new database and connect it to the app you have selected automatically, so all you'll have to do to get a script-driven website will be to click on the Install button.

MySQL 5 Databases in Semi-dedicated Servers

You will be able to use any script that requires MySQL with each of our semi-dedicated servers since we have the most current version set up on all servers - MySQL 5. Using our in-house built Hepsia website hosting CP, you will be able to easily create or remove a database, change its password, back it up with one click or examine the hourly and daily access statistics for it. If you would like to manage the content of a database directly, not by using a script, you will have two options - either employing the web interface of the phpMyAdmin tool, which is available inside the Control Panel, or using an application installed on your computer considering the fact that we support remote database access. For the aforementioned option, you'll need to add your IP address from the hosting account first as an extra level of security against unauthorized access to your information.
