If you use a script-driven application for your site, any information which both you and the site users produce shall be stored in a database - a collection of data, that's structured 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 widely used ones around the globe is MySQL. A wide range of script applications are created to work with MySQL because it is simple to use, it works exceptionally well on a server and it's universal as it can perform with popular web programming languages (PHP, Java, Perl, Python) and on a number of server Operating Systems (UNIX, Linux, Windows). There are literally thousands of scripts which use MySQL, including very popular ones such as WordPress, Moodle and Joomla™.
MySQL 5 Databases in Shared Web Hosting
Starting or modifying a MySQL database is going to be easy with any of our Linux shared web hosting packages. This can be carried out using our feature-rich Hepsia Control Panel in which you can create or erase a database, set up a backup copy with a single click or use the effective phpMyAdmin instrument to modify cells and tables or import a whole database if you are moving a script-driven site from another hosting provider. You can even enable remote access to any database within your account and select from what IP addresses the connection shall be established, so as to ensure the safety of your data. If you opt to take advantage of any of the script platforms that we provide with our script installer, you'll not need to do anything simply because our system will create a new database and link it to the website automatically. If you experience any issues to manage your databases, you can check our help articles and video tutorials or make contact with our technical support.
