All script applications like forums or online stores save their data in a database - a collection of cells and tables containing all of the site data such as items, prices, comments, and so on. Every time you open a particular page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the needed data, then shows it. The intermediary software that connects the script and the database is referred to as a database management system and amongst the most widely used ones is MySQL. The latter is commonly used because it runs on several platforms (UNIX, Linux, Windows) and with a number of scripting languages (Java, PHP, Perl, Python), not mentioning its wonderful performance even with huge databases. Numerous widely used platforms such as Joomla™ or WordPress work with MySQL databases to keep their content.

The in-house built Hepsia Control Panel included with our shared plans will permit you to manage all your MySQL databases easily. It requires just a couple of clicks to create a new database and with one more click you could back it up if you want to have a copy before you update your site, for example. You shall be able to change the password, delete a database or allow remote access to it just as easily. For the latter option you may choose the IP addresses that'll be able to connect to the database remotely so as to ensure that unauthorized people won't be able to access your data. If you wish to see the database content or change any cell or table using the CP, you may use phpMyAdmin, an efficient web-based interface. Using any one of our script-driven applications shall also be quite simple as our script installer will create a database for the script you have picked automatically.
