All script applications such as forums or online shops keep their info inside a database - a set of cells and tables which contains the site data including items, prices, comments, and so on. When you open a certain page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the necessary information, then displays it. The mid-level software that connects the script and the database is called a database management system and among the most famous ones is MySQL. The latter is frequently used as it runs on different platforms (Windows, UNIX, Linux) and with a range of scripting languages (Python, PHP, Perl, Java), not mentioning its wonderful functionality even with massive databases. Many famous platforms such as WordPress or Joomla™ use MySQL databases to save their content.
MySQL 5 Databases in Shared Web Hosting
Our Linux shared web hosting will permit you to host MySQL-driven websites without any issue as our cloud platform has the latest management system version installed. You shall be able to create, delete and manage your databases without trouble through our custom Hepsia CP. If you wish to migrate an Internet site from another website hosting provider, you should use the phpMyAdmin tool that you can access via Hepsia, or you can connect remotely right after you've enabled this function for your IP address. In the same way you may also modify certain cells or tables inside any of your databases. Generating a backup is equally simple and requires only a mouse click on the Backup button for a certain database. This function allows you to keep a copy of a website on your PC or to export the content of a particular database, change it on your end using appropriate software, and then import it back.
