MySQL is one of the most widely used database management systems out there. A database is a collection of cells with info that are arranged in tables and the management system is the software which links the info to a script application. As an example, a forum stores all usernames, avatars, posts and so forth in a database and every time a website visitor opens a given thread, the forum script connects to the database and “calls” the content which should be displayed on a specific page. MySQL is extremely popular because of its excellent performance, simplicity and the fact that it can function with lots of popular scripting languages like PHP, Python, Perl, etc. All dynamic sites that are designed with a script-driven app need some type of database and a number of the most widely used ones like Joomla™, Moodle, Mambo and WordPress employ MySQL.

The in-house built Hepsia CP offered with our Linux cloud web hosting packages allows you to control all your MySQL databases effortlessly. It requires just a few mouse clicks to set up a new database and with one more click you can back it up if you'd like to have a copy before you update your website, for instance. You shall be able to modify the password, delete a database or enable remote access to it just as easily. For the latter option you'll be able to choose the IP addresses which will be able to connect to the database remotely so as to make sure that unauthorized people shall not be able to access your information. If you wish to view the database content or change any cell or table from the Control Panel, you should use phpMyAdmin, an efficient web-based interface. Using any one of our script-driven applications will also be super easy as our script installer will create a database for the script which you have picked automatically.

For the abovementioned option, you will need to include your IP address from the web hosting account first as an additional level of safety against unauthorized access to your info.
