MySQL is one of the most commonly used database administration systems in existence. A database is a set of cells with info that are structured in tables and the administration system is the software that links the info to a script application. For instance, a forum stores all usernames, avatars, posts etc within a database and every single 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 extremely popular due to its excellent performance, simplicity of use and the fact that it can operate with lots of popular scripting languages like PHP, Python, Perl, and so on. All dynamic web sites that are built with a script-driven application require some type of database and some of the most widely used ones like Joomla™, Moodle, Mambo and WordPress work with MySQL.

MySQL 5 Databases in Shared Web Hosting

Starting or changing a MySQL database is going to be easy with each of our Linux shared web hosting packages. That can be done through our feature-rich Hepsia Control Panel where you can set up or delete a database, set up a backup copy with only one mouse click or employ the effective phpMyAdmin tool to change cells and tables or import an entire database if you are moving a script-driven Internet site from another hosting company. You can also enable remote access to any database within your account and select from what IP addresses the connection will be established, in order to guarantee the protection of your data. If you decide to take advantage of any of the script platforms we provide with our script installer, you won't need to do anything simply because our system will set up a whole new database and link it to the Internet site automatically. If you face any difficulties to manage your databases, you should check our help articles and instructional videos or communicate with our tech support team.
