MySQL is one of the most widespread database management systems available. A database is a group of cells with information which are arranged in tables and the control system is the piece of software that links the data to a script app. For example, a forum stores all usernames, avatars, posts and so forth in a database and each time a visitor opens a particular thread, the forum script connects to the database and “calls” the content that ought to be shown on a certain page. MySQL is quite popular because of its great performance, simplicity of use and the fact that it can work with a lot of popular scripting languages such as PHP, Python, Perl, etcetera. All dynamic websites which are designed with a script-driven app require some kind of database and many of the most popular ones such as Joomla™, Moodle, Mambo and WordPress use MySQL.
MySQL 5 Databases in Shared Website Hosting
Starting or editing a MySQL database is going to be very easy with each one of our Linux shared website hosting packages. This can be done using our feature-rich Hepsia CP where you can create or remove a database, create a backup with a single click or employ the highly efficient phpMyAdmin tool to edit cells and tables or import an entire database if you are moving a script-driven Internet site from another web hosting provider. You may also enable remote access to any database in your account and select from what IP addresses the connection will be established, so as to guarantee the security of your data. If you choose to use any of the script platforms which we offer with our script installer, you will not have to do anything because our system will set up a whole new database and link it to the website automatically. If you encounter any difficulties to control your databases, you should check our help articles and instructional videos or make contact with our technical support.
