All script apps including forums or online stores store their data within a database - a set of cells and tables which contains all the Internet site info such as items, prices, comments, and so on. Every time you open a certain page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the specified info, then shows it. The intermediary software which connects the script and the database is called a database management system and one of the most famous ones is MySQL. The latter is commonly used because it operates on several platforms (Windows, UNIX, Linux) and with a number of scripting languages (PHP, Java, Perl, Python), not mentioning its excellent effectiveness even with huge databases. Lots of famous platforms like WordPress or Joomla™ use MySQL databases to store their content.
MySQL 5 Databases in Website Hosting
You'll be able to use script-driven platforms that require a MySQL database with each of the Linux website hosting plans we offer. You can easily set up a new database through the Hepsia hosting CP and the total number of databases which you can have simultaneously is determined by the package which you choose. We also provide you with advanced options to handle your databases, including a one-click backup and remote access. With the latter option you'll be able to employ software on your computer to connect to a database on our servers and manage it. For convenient administration through the CP we provide the powerful phpMyAdmin software tool, that will permit you to modify cells or tables and import or export whole databases through a web interface.

MySQL 5 Databases in Semi-dedicated Servers
You will be able to use any script that requires MySQL with any of our semi-dedicated plans as we have the latest version set up on all machines - MySQL 5. Through our in-house built Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, you shall be able to easily create or delete a database, change its password, back it up with just a single mouse click or examine the hourly and daily access stats for it. If you'd like to handle the content of a database directly, not by using a script, you'll have 2 options - either using the web interface of the phpMyAdmin tool, that's available inside the CP, or using an app set up on your computer since we support remote database access. For the abovementioned option, you will need to include your IP address through the web hosting account first as an added level of security against unauthorized access to your info.
