All script apps including forums or online stores keep their data inside a database - a group of cells and tables which contains the site information such as items, prices, comments, and so forth. When you open a specific page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the required information, then shows it. The intermediary software that connects the script and the database is known as a database management system and among the most widely used ones is MySQL. The latter is widely used simply because it runs on several platforms (UNIX, Linux, Windows) and with numerous scripting languages (Python, Perl, PHP, Java), not mentioning its wonderful functionality even with huge databases. A lot of popular platforms including WordPress or Joomla™ employ MySQL databases to keep their content.

MySQL 5 Databases in Hosting

Our hosting will enable you to host MySQL-driven websites without any problem as our cloud platform has the latest management system version set up. You shall be able to set up, erase and manage your databases with ease using our custom-built Hepsia Control Panel. If you wish to migrate an Internet site from another web hosting company, you can use the phpMyAdmin tool that you can access from Hepsia, or you can connect remotely once you've enabled this feature for your IP address. In the same way you could also change specific cells or tables in any of your databases. Generating a backup is just as simple and requires only a click on the Backup button for a specific database. This function will allow you to keep a copy of a site on your computer or to export the content of a given database, edit it on your end using some software, and then import it back.

MySQL 5 Databases in Semi-dedicated Servers

You shall be able to use any script that requires MySQL with each of our semi-dedicated servers as we have the newest version set up on all machines - MySQL 5. Via our in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you'll be able to easily create or delete a database, modify its password, back it up with one click or examine the hourly and daily access statistics for it. If you want to handle the content of a database directly, not through a script, you shall have 2 options - either using the web interface of the phpMyAdmin tool, that is available inside the CP, or using an app set up on your computer given that we support remote database access. For the abovementioned option, you'll have to add your IP address through the web hosting account first as an additional level of security against unauthorized access to your information.
