All script applications such as forums or online shops keep their data inside a database - a group of cells and tables that contains the website information including items, prices, comments, and many others. Every time you open a particular page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the necessary info, then displays it. The mid-level software which connects the script and the database is called a database management system and one of the most widely used ones is MySQL. The latter is widely used because it works on different platforms (Linux, Windows, UNIX) and with a variety of scripting languages (PHP, Java, Python, Perl), not mentioning its amazing functionality even with big databases. Lots of widely used platforms like Joomla™ or WordPress work with MySQL databases to keep their content.

MySQL 5 Databases in Shared Hosting

Our shared hosting will enable you to host MySQL-driven Internet sites without problems as our cloud platform has the latest management system version set up. You'll be able to create, delete and manage your databases without trouble through our custom-made Hepsia Control Panel. If you want to migrate an Internet site from another hosting provider, you can use the phpMyAdmin tool which you can access via Hepsia, or you can connect remotely right after you've enabled this function for your IP address. In the same way you could also change certain cells or tables inside any of your databases. Creating a backup is also painless and takes simply a click on the Backup button for a specific database. This feature 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.
