All script applications such as forums or web shops keep their info within a database - a set of cells and tables containing the website data like items, prices, comments, etc. Each time you open a certain page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the specified info, then displays it. The intermediary software that connects the script and the database is referred to as a database management system and among the most widely used ones is MySQL. The latter is frequently used simply because it works on different platforms (Linux, UNIX, Windows) and with a range of scripting languages (Python, PHP, Perl, Java), not mentioning its amazing efficiency even with huge databases. Numerous well-known platforms including WordPress or Joomla™ work with MySQL databases to save their content.
MySQL 5 Databases in Cloud Hosting
The in-house built Hepsia Control Panel offered with our cloud hosting allows you to control all your MySQL databases effortlessly. It takes just a couple of mouse clicks to set up a brand new database and with just one more click you may back it up if you want to have a copy before you update your web site, for instance. You shall be able to change the password, remove a database or permit remote access to it just as easily. For the latter option you can choose the IP addresses which will be able to connect to the database remotely to make sure that unauthorized people won't be able to access your info. If you'd like to see the database content or change any cell or table through the CP, you can use phpMyAdmin, an efficient web-based interface. Using any of our script-driven apps shall also be very easy as our script installer will set up a database for the script you have selected automatically.
