When you use a script-driven app for your Internet site, any data that both you and the site users generate shall be stored in a database - a collection of info, that's arranged in cells and tables for simpler reading and writing. The latter is accomplished by employing special software called database management system and one of the most famous ones worldwide is MySQL. A large amount of script apps are designed to work with MySQL since it is easy to work with, it performs very well on a web server and it's also universal as it can perform with widely used web programming languages (Java, Perl, Python, PHP) and on a number of server OS (Linux, UNIX, Windows). There are hundreds of scripts which use MySQL, including very popular ones for example Moodle, Joomla™ and WordPress.
MySQL 5 Databases in Website Hosting
The in-house built Hepsia Control Panel offered with our Linux website hosting will allow you to take care of all your MySQL databases with ease. It requires only a few mouse clicks to set up a new database and with only one more click you may back it up if you would like to have a copy before you update your site, for example. You'll be able to modify the password, erase a database or enable remote access to it just as easily. For the latter option you may pick the IP addresses that'll be able to connect to the database remotely to make sure that unauthorized people will not be able to access your info. If you wish to see the database content or edit any cell or table using the CP, you should use phpMyAdmin, an effective web-based interface. Using any one of our script-driven apps will also be super easy as our script installer will create a database for the script you have selected automatically.
