MySQL is one of the most widely used database control systems on the market. A database is a collection of cells with data which are organized in tables and the control system is the software that links the data to a script application. As an example, a forum stores all posts, usernames, avatars etc within a database and every time a website visitor opens a particular thread, the forum script connects to the database and “calls” the content that has to be accessible on a certain page. MySQL is quite popular due to its terrific functionality, convenience and the fact that it can operate with lots of popular scripting languages such as PHP, Python, Perl, etc. All dynamic sites that are built with a script-driven application require some type of database and a number of the most widely used ones such as Joomla™, Moodle, Mambo and WordPress employ MySQL.
MySQL 5 Databases in Shared Website Hosting
The in-house built Hepsia CP that comes with our shared website hosting will allow you to take care of all your MySQL databases without difficulty. It requires just a couple of clicks to create a brand new database and with only one more click you may back it up if you'd like to have a copy before you update your site, for example. You'll be able to modify the password, remove a database or enable remote access to it just as fast. For the latter option you can pick the IP addresses that will be able to connect to the database remotely so as to make sure that unauthorized people will not be able to access your information. If you wish to view the database content or modify any cell or table through the Control Panel, you should use phpMyAdmin, a powerful web-based interface. Using any one of our script-driven apps will also be easy as our script installer will create a database for the script you have chosen automatically.
