MySQL is one of the most popular database administration systems out there. A database is a group of cells with information that are organized in tables and the administration system is the software which links the info to a script app. As an illustration, a forum stores all usernames, avatars, posts etc within a database and each time a visitor opens a specific thread, the forum script connects to the database and “calls” the content which should be shown on a specific page. MySQL is really popular due to its excellent performance, simplicity and the fact that it can work with lots of popular scripting languages like PHP, Python, Perl, and so on. All dynamic sites that are built with a script-driven app require some type of database and a number of the most popular ones including Joomla™, Moodle, Mambo and WordPress employ MySQL.
MySQL 5 Databases in Shared Web Hosting
The in-house built Hepsia Control Panel that comes with our Linux shared web hosting plans allows you to manage all your MySQL databases effortlessly. It requires just a few clicks to set up a new database and with only one more click you could back it up if you'd like to have a copy before you update your website, for instance. You shall be able to change the password, remove a database or allow remote access to it just as fast. For the latter option you could choose the IP addresses which will be able to connect to the database remotely so as to make sure that unauthorized people shall not be able to access your information. If you want to view the database content or change any cell or table via the Control Panel, you should use phpMyAdmin, an excellent web-based interface. Using any of our script-driven apps shall also be super easy as our script installer will create a database for the script you have picked automatically.
MySQL 5 Databases in Semi-dedicated Servers
You'll be able to use any script that requires MySQL with all of our semi-dedicated servers as we have the most up-to-date version set up on all web servers - MySQL 5. Through our in-house built Hepsia website hosting CP, you shall be able to easily set up or erase a database, change its password, back it up with a single click or check out the hourly and daily access statistics for it.

For the abovementioned option, you'll have to add your IP address through the hosting account first as an extra level of safety against unauthorized access to your data.
