If you use a script-driven app for your website, any data which both you and the site users produce shall be stored inside a database - a collection of data, that is organized in cells and tables for simplier and easier reading and writing. The latter is accomplished through special software referred to as database management system and one of the most widely used ones around the globe is MySQL. A lot of script applications are designed to work with MySQL as it's easy to use, it functions really well on a web hosting server and it's also universal as it can work with widely used web programming languages (PHP, Perl, Python, Java) and on a number of hosting server Operating Systems (Windows, UNIX, Linux). There are hundreds of scripts that use MySQL, including quite popular ones such as WordPress, Joomla™ and Moodle.

Starting or changing a MySQL database will be very easy with any of our Linux shared web hosting. That can be carried out using our feature-rich Hepsia Control Panel through which you can create or erase a database, set up a backup copy with a single mouse click or use the highly effective phpMyAdmin instrument in order to modify cells and tables or import an entire database if you are moving a script-driven Internet site from another hosting company. You may also enable remote access to any database inside your account and choose from what IP addresses the connection shall be established, as a way to ensure the security of your info. If you choose to use any of the script platforms which we offer you with our script installer, you will not have to do anything because our system will set up a brand new database and link it to the website automatically. If you experience any issues to control your databases, you should check our help articles and training videos or communicate with our tech support team.
