All script applications such as forums or e-stores store their data within a database - a set of cells and tables that contains all of the site information including items, prices, comments, and so forth. Every time you open a certain page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the required info, then shows it. The intermediary software which connects the script and the database is called a database management system and one of the most popular ones is MySQL. The latter is commonly used as it runs on different platforms (Linux, UNIX, Windows) and with a number of scripting languages (Python, PHP, Perl, Java), not mentioning its excellent performance even with large databases. Many popular platforms like Joomla™ or WordPress use MySQL databases to save their content.

MySQL 5 Databases in Shared Web Hosting

Our shared web hosting plans will permit you to host MySQL-driven sites without any difficulty as our cloud platform has the latest management system version installed. You will be able to set up, remove and control your databases easily using our custom Hepsia CP. If you want to migrate an Internet site from another hosting provider, you should use the phpMyAdmin tool which you could access through Hepsia, or you can connect remotely right after you've allowed this feature for your IP address. In the same way you could also change certain cells or tables within any of your databases. Generating a backup is equally easy and requires simply a click on the Backup button for a certain database. This function will permit you to keep a copy of a site on your personal computer or to export the content of a particular database, change it on your end using appropriate software, and then import it back.
