MySQL is among the most popular database management systems available. A database is a group of cells with info that are organized in tables and the control system is the software which links the data to a script app. For instance, a forum stores all usernames, avatars, posts and so forth in a database and every time a website visitor opens a particular thread, the forum script connects to the database and “calls” the content which should be displayed on a certain page. MySQL is really popular due to its excellent performance, simplicity and the fact that it can function with many popular scripting languages including PHP, Python, Perl, and so on. All dynamic Internet sites which are developed with a script-driven application require some type of database and a lot of the most popular ones such as Joomla™, Moodle, Mambo and WordPress work with MySQL.

MySQL 5 Databases in Shared Website Hosting

This can be done through our feature-rich Hepsia Control Panel through which you can create or delete a database, set up a backup with a single mouse click or take advantage of the highly efficient phpMyAdmin tool to modify cells and tables or import a whole database if you are moving a script-driven site from another web hosting provider. You could also enable remote access to any database in your account and decide from what IP addresses the connection shall be established, so that you can guarantee the security of your info. If you opt to employ any of the script platforms that we provide with our script installer, you will not need to do anything as our system will create a new database and link it to the site automatically.
