If you use a script-driven app for your Internet site, any data which both you and the site users produce shall be stored inside a database - an accumulation of data, that's arranged in cells and tables for easier reading and writing. The latter is accomplished by employing special software referred to as database management system and one of the most well-known ones around the globe is MySQL. A number of script apps are designed to work with MySQL because it is user-friendly, it functions perfectly on a web hosting server and it's universal as it can work with common web programming languages (Java, Perl, Python, PHP) and on several web server OS (Windows, UNIX, Linux). There are loads of scripts that use MySQL, including extremely popular ones for instance Moodle, Joomla™ and WordPress.

The in-house built Hepsia Control Panel that comes with our shared plans allows you to manage all your MySQL databases without difficulty. It takes just a few clicks to set up a brand new database and with only one more click you could back it up if you want to have a copy before you update your web site, for example. You'll be able to modify the password, remove a database or enable remote access to it just as easily. For the latter option you may pick the IP addresses that will be able to connect to the database remotely to ensure that unauthorized people won't be able to access your data. If you would like to see the database content or change any cell or table from the Control Panel, you can use phpMyAdmin, an excellent web-based interface. Using any one of our script-driven applications will also be very easy as our script installer will set up a database for the script you have selected automatically.
