MySQL is among the most popular database administration systems out there. A database is a set of cells with info that are arranged in tables and the management system is the software which links the info to a script app. As an illustration, a forum stores all usernames, avatars, posts and so on within a database and every time a 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 because of its superb functionality, simplicity and the fact that it can work with numerous popular scripting languages including PHP, Python, Perl, and so on. All dynamic web sites that are designed with a script-driven app require some kind of database and a number of the most widely used ones including Joomla™, Moodle, Mambo and WordPress work with MySQL.

MySQL 5 Databases in Shared Hosting

The in-house built Hepsia CP included with our shared hosting plans allows you to take care of all your MySQL databases with ease. It requires just a couple of mouse clicks to create a brand new database and with just one more click you may back it up if you'd like to have a copy before you update your web site, for instance. You will be able to change the password, remove a database or enable remote access to it just as easily. For the latter option you'll be able to opt for the IP addresses which will be able to connect to the database remotely in order to make sure that unauthorized people shall not be able to access your data. If you want to view the database content or change any cell or table through the Control Panel, you should use phpMyAdmin, a powerful web-based interface. Using any of our script-driven applications will also be easy as our script installer will set up a database for the script that you have chosen automatically.

If you want to manage the content of a database directly, not via a script, you'll have two options - either employing the web interface of the phpMyAdmin tool, that is available inside the CP, or using an application installed on your laptop or computer considering the fact that we support remote database access. For the aforementioned option, you will need to include your IP address through the web hosting account first as an added level of security against unauthorized access to your info.
