MySQL is one of the most widespread database admin systems out there. A database is a collection of cells with information that are arranged in tables and the administration system is the piece of software that links the data to a script app. For example, a forum stores all usernames, avatars, posts and so forth in a database and every time a site visitor opens a particular thread, the forum script connects to the database and “calls” the content which ought to be shown on a specific page. MySQL is extremely popular because of its excellent efficiency, ease of use and the fact that it can work with lots of popular scripting languages such as PHP, Python, Perl, etc. All dynamic Internet sites that are developed with a script-driven application require some type of database and a lot of the most popular ones like Joomla™, Moodle, Mambo and WordPress work with MySQL.

MySQL 5 Databases in Shared Hosting

The in-house built Hepsia CP included with our Linux shared hosting packages will enable you to manage all your MySQL databases with ease. It takes only a few mouse clicks to create a new database and with just one more click you can back it up if you want to have a copy before you update your site, for example. You will be able to modify the password, erase a database or enable remote access to it just as fast. For the latter option you could pick the IP addresses which will be able to connect to the database remotely so as to make sure that unauthorized people shall not be able to access your information. If you want to see the database content or modify any cell or table through the Control Panel, you may use phpMyAdmin, a powerful web-based interface. Using any one of our script-driven applications shall also be quite simple as our script installer will set up a database for the script that you have picked out automatically.

MySQL 5 Databases in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You'll be able to use any script that requires MySQL with all of our semi-dedicated packages since we have the latest version installed on all servers - MySQL 5. Via our in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you shall be able to easily set up or delete a database, modify its password, back it up with just a single click or check out the hourly and daily access stats for it. If you'd like to manage the content of a database directly, not via a script, you'll have 2 options - either employing the web interface of the phpMyAdmin tool, which is available inside the CP, or using an app set up on your computer since we support remote database access. For the latter option, you'll have to add your IP address from the web hosting account first as an added level of safety against unauthorized access to your data.
