MySQL is one of the most widespread database control systems out there. A database is a collection of cells with data that are organized in tables and the management system is the software that links the info to a script application. As an example, a forum stores all posts, usernames, avatars and so on in a database and every single time a website visitor opens a given thread, the forum script connects to the database and “calls” the content which should be displayed on a certain page. MySQL is quite popular due to its great performance, convenience and the fact that it can operate with numerous popular scripting languages including PHP, Python, Perl, etcetera. All dynamic websites which are developed with a script-driven application need some type of database and a lot of the most popular ones such as Joomla™, Moodle, Mambo and WordPress work with MySQL.

MySQL 5 Databases in Cloud Hosting

The in-house built Hepsia Control Panel offered with our Linux cloud hosting allows you to manage all your MySQL databases easily. It requires just a few clicks to create a brand new database and with one more click you can back it up if you want to have a copy before you update your Internet site, for instance. You shall be able to change the password, erase a database or permit remote access to it just as easily. For the latter option you'll be able to choose the IP addresses which will be able to connect to the database remotely to make sure that unauthorized people will not be able to access your info. If you would like to view the database content or edit any cell or table from the Control Panel, you can use phpMyAdmin, an efficient web-based interface. Using any of our script-driven apps shall also be super easy as our script installer will set up a database for the script you have chosen automatically.
