All script applications such as forums or virtual stores store their data inside a database - a collection of cells and tables containing the Internet site data including items, prices, comments, and many others. Every time you open a particular page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the necessary information, then shows it. The intermediary software which connects the script and the database is known as a database management system and amongst the most well-known ones is MySQL. The latter is frequently used because it functions on different platforms (UNIX, Linux, Windows) and with a range of scripting languages (Java, PHP, Perl, Python), not mentioning its wonderful effectiveness even with massive databases. Lots of well-known platforms like Joomla™ or WordPress work with MySQL databases to store their content.

MySQL 5 Databases in Semi-dedicated Servers

You will be able to use any script that requires MySQL with all of our semi-dedicated service due to the fact that we have the newest version set up on all servers - MySQL 5. Using our in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will be able to easily set up or remove a database, modify its password, back it up with one click or examine the hourly and daily access statistics for it. If you'd like to handle the content of a database directly, not via a script, you'll have two options - either employing the web interface of the phpMyAdmin tool, which is available inside the Control Panel, or using an application set up on your personal computer as we support remote database access. For the latter option, you'll need to include your IP address through the hosting account first as an extra level of safety against unauthorized access to your data.
