MySQL is among the most popular database administration systems on the market. A database is a collection of cells with data that are structured in tables and the management system is the piece of software that links the data to a script application. As an example, a forum stores all usernames, avatars, posts etc in a database and every single time a site visitor opens a particular thread, the forum script connects to the database and “calls” the content which has to be shown on a certain page. MySQL is very popular due to its excellent efficiency, convenience and the fact that it can operate with a lot of popular scripting languages such as PHP, Python, Perl, etcetera. All dynamic Internet sites that are built with a script-driven app require some kind of database and many of the most popular ones such as Joomla™, Moodle, Mambo and WordPress employ MySQL.

MySQL 5 Databases in Shared Web Hosting

Our shared web hosting plans will permit you to host MySQL-driven sites without any problem as our cloud platform has the latest management system version installed. You'll be able to create, erase and manage your databases with ease via our custom-made Hepsia Control Panel. If you wish to migrate a site from another website hosting provider, you should use the phpMyAdmin tool which you can access through Hepsia, or you can connect remotely right after you have enabled this feature for your IP address. In the same way you could also change specific cells or tables inside any of your databases. Creating a backup is just as painless and requires only a mouse click on the Backup button for a specific database. This feature allows you to keep a copy of a website on your PC or to export the content of a certain database, change it on your end using some software, and then import it back.
