All script applications like forums or virtual shops store their info within a database - a group of cells and tables that contains the site data such as items, prices, comments, and so on. Every time you open a certain page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the needed information, then shows it. The mid-level software that connects the script and the database is known as a database management system and one of the most famous ones is MySQL. The latter is widely used because it runs on various platforms (Linux, Windows, UNIX) and with a variety of scripting languages (Python, Perl, PHP, Java), not mentioning its excellent functionality even with massive databases. Many well-known platforms like Joomla™ or WordPress use MySQL databases to save their content.
MySQL 5 Databases in Cloud Website Hosting
The in-house built Hepsia CP offered with our cloud website hosting will allow you to manage all your MySQL databases easily. It takes just a few mouse clicks to set up a completely new database and with one more click you may back it up if you'd like to have a copy before you update your Internet site, for example. You will be able to change the password, delete a database or allow remote access to it just as easily. For the latter option you'll be able to opt for the IP addresses that'll be able to connect to the database remotely to ensure that unauthorized people will not be able to access your information. If you wish to see 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 applications will also be easy as our script installer will create a database for the script you have chosen automatically.
