All script apps including forums or online shops save their info within a database - a collection of cells and tables which contains all of the website information such as items, prices, comments, etc. Every time you open a specific page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the necessary info, then displays it. The mid-level software which connects the script and the database is known as a database management system and among the most widely used ones is MySQL. The latter is frequently used as it functions on a number of platforms (Windows, UNIX, Linux) and with numerous scripting languages (PHP, Perl, Python, Java), not mentioning its wonderful performance even with big databases. Numerous widely used platforms like Joomla™ or WordPress use MySQL databases to save their content.

MySQL 5 Databases in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You will be able to use any script that requires MySQL with any of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting due to the fact that we have the most current version set up on all machines - MySQL 5. Using our in-house built Hepsia website hosting CP, you'll be able to swiftly set up or remove a database, change its password, back it up with one click or check the hourly and daily access stats for it. If you would like to manage the content of a database directly, not via a script, you'll have 2 options - either using the web interface of the phpMyAdmin tool, that is available in the CP, or using an app set up on your laptop or computer as we support remote database access. For the abovementioned option, you will have to add your IP address via the web hosting account first as an added level of protection against unauthorized access to your data.
