All script applications including forums or web shops store their info inside a database - a group of cells and tables that contains the Internet site data like items, prices, comments, and many others. When you open a specific page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the required info, then displays it. The intermediary software which connects the script and the database is known as a database management system and among the most popular ones is MySQL. The latter is widely used simply because it functions on several platforms (Windows, Linux, UNIX) and with a range of scripting languages (Java, PHP, Perl, Python), not mentioning its great efficiency even with big databases. A lot of famous platforms including WordPress or Joomla™ employ MySQL databases to save their content.

MySQL 5 Databases in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You will be able to use any script that requires MySQL with any of our semi-dedicated hosting due to the fact that we have the latest version installed on all web servers - MySQL 5. Via our in-house built Hepsia website hosting CP, you will be able to easily set up or erase a database, modify its password, back it up with one mouse click or check the hourly and daily access stats for it. If you'd like to manage the content of a database directly, not through a script, you will have 2 options - either working with the web interface of the phpMyAdmin tool, that is available in the Control Panel, or using an application installed on your laptop or computer as we support remote database access. For the abovementioned option, you'll need to add your IP address from the web hosting account first as an extra level of security against unauthorized access to your info.
