phpMyAdmin is a highly efficient PHP-based software tool employed to manage MySQL databases via a web interface. You may use it to run MySQL commands, create, edit and erase cells, rows and tables or control users with different levels of access to the database in question. All these tasks can easily be performed from any device as long as you have a browser and access to the website hosting account where the database is. With phpMyAdmin, you could also export or import a whole database, which is a very useful feature if you want to migrate a web site from one web hosting company to another. A variety of file formats are supported for the so-called dump file - CSV, SQL, XML and PDF, based upon what you need to do - move the content from one internet hosting account to another, preview an entire database in a spreadsheet app for instance Microsoft Excel, etc.

phpMyAdmin in Shared Hosting

phpMyAdmin is a part of each and every shared hosting which we offer and it's accessible through our custom Hepsia Control Panel. A little phpMyAdmin icon shall be displayed on the right side of each database that you create inside the MySQL Databases section of the Control Panel and by clicking on the icon for the database which you want to access, you will be logged into the application automatically in a new tab of your web browser. Then you can do everything you would like - export the entire or part of the data, import a database, run SQL queries, search and replace terms. If you don't want to employ the Control Panel, you'll also be able to log in via a direct phpMyAdmin login page, but you should know the database account information. The last feature is helpful if you have to give access to a database to a third-party.
