All script apps such as forums or virtual stores save their information in a database - a collection of cells and tables that contains all the site data like items, prices, comments, and so on. Anytime you open a particular page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the necessary info, then displays it. The mid-level software that connects the script and the database is known as a database management system and amongst the most widely used ones is MySQL. The latter is commonly used as it works on different platforms (Windows, Linux, UNIX) and with a range of scripting languages (Java, PHP, Perl, Python), not mentioning its fantastic efficiency even with massive databases. Numerous widely used platforms such as WordPress or Joomla™ work with MySQL databases to store their content.

MySQL 5 Databases in Shared Hosting

The in-house built Hepsia Control Panel that comes with our shared hosting will permit you to take care of all your MySQL databases effortlessly. It takes just a couple of mouse clicks to set up a 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 website, for instance. You will be able to modify the password, remove a database or allow remote access to it just as easily. For the latter option you can choose the IP addresses which will be able to connect to the database remotely in order to make sure that unauthorized people will not be able to access your information. If you wish to see the database content or modify any cell or table from the Control Panel, you should use phpMyAdmin, an efficient web-based interface.
