All script applications including forums or virtual stores save their info in a database - a collection of cells and tables containing all the Internet site information such as items, prices, comments, and so forth. Each time you open a specific page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the needed information, then displays it. The mid-level software that connects the script and the database is referred to as a database management system and amongst the most well-known ones is MySQL. The latter is commonly used simply because it works on a variety of platforms (Windows, Linux, UNIX) and with a range of scripting languages (Java, Perl, Python, PHP), not mentioning its great effectiveness even with large databases. A lot of popular platforms like WordPress or Joomla™ employ MySQL databases to keep their content.

MySQL 5 Databases in Cloud Hosting

The in-house built Hepsia Control Panel offered with our cloud plans allows you to control all your MySQL databases easily. It takes only a few clicks to set up a brand new database and with only one more click you may back it up if you would like to have a copy before you update your website, for instance. You will be able to modify the password, erase a database or allow remote access to it just as easily. For the latter option you may opt for the IP addresses that will be able to connect to the database remotely so as to make sure that unauthorized people won't be able to access your information. If you'd like to view the database content or modify any cell or table using the Control Panel, you may use phpMyAdmin, an efficient web-based interface. Using any of our script-driven applications will also be easy as our script installer will create a database for the script which you have selected automatically.
