MySQL is one of the most widespread database control systems on the market. A database is a group of cells with data which are structured in tables and the control system is the software that links the information to a script application. As an illustration, a forum stores all usernames, avatars, posts and so on in a database and each time a website visitor opens a given thread, the forum script connects to the database and “calls” the content which should be shown on a particular page. MySQL is quite popular because of its superb efficiency, simplicity of use and the fact that it can function with a lot of popular scripting languages including PHP, Python, Perl, etc. All dynamic Internet sites that are designed with a script-driven app require some kind of database and some of the most popular ones including Joomla™, Moodle, Mambo and WordPress use MySQL.

MySQL 5 Databases in Hosting

The in-house built Hepsia Control Panel included with our Linux hosting packages will permit you to take care of all your MySQL databases with ease. It takes only a couple of clicks to set up a new database and with only one more click you can back it up if you want to have a copy before you update your website, for instance. You will be able to change the password, delete a database or allow remote access to it just as easily. For the latter option you may opt for the IP addresses which will be able to connect to the database remotely to ensure that unauthorized people won't be able to access your info. If you'd like to see the database content or change any cell or table from the Control Panel, you may use phpMyAdmin, a powerful web-based interface. Using any of our script-driven applications shall also be very easy as our script installer will create a database for the script which you have chosen automatically.
