All script apps such as forums or e-shops keep their info within a database - a collection of cells and tables containing all the website info including items, prices, comments, and many others. Every time you open a particular page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the necessary data, then displays it. The mid-level software which connects the script and the database is called a database management system and among the most widely used ones is MySQL. The latter is widely used simply because it works on various platforms (Windows, Linux, UNIX) and with a number of scripting languages (PHP, Java, Python, Perl), not mentioning its amazing efficiency even with big databases. Numerous popular platforms like WordPress or Joomla™ work with MySQL databases to store their content.
MySQL 5 Databases in Cloud Web Hosting
The in-house built Hepsia Control Panel offered with our Linux cloud web hosting allows you to manage all your MySQL databases without difficulty. It requires 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 example. You shall be able to change the password, remove a database or allow remote access to it just as fast. For the latter option you may opt for the IP addresses which will be able to connect to the database remotely in order to make sure that unauthorized people will not be able to access your data. If you wish to view the database content or modify any cell or table via the CP, you can use phpMyAdmin, an effective web-based interface. Using any one 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.
