All script apps such as forums or e-stores store their information inside a database - a set of cells and tables which contains all of the website information including items, prices, comments, and so on. When you open a particular page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the required info, then displays it. The intermediary software which connects the script and the database is known as a database management system and amongst the most popular ones is MySQL. The latter is commonly used because it functions on various platforms (Windows, UNIX, Linux) and with a number of scripting languages (Python, PHP, Perl, Java), not mentioning its great efficiency even with big databases. Lots of famous platforms like Joomla™ or WordPress use MySQL databases to keep their content.

MySQL 5 Databases in Semi-dedicated Servers

You will be able to use any script that requires MySQL with each of our semi-dedicated hosting plans considering the fact that we have the most current version set up on all machines - MySQL 5. Using our in-house built Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you'll be able to quickly create or delete a database, modify its password, back it up with one click or check the hourly and daily access statistics for it.

For the latter option, you will need to include your IP address from the hosting account first as an extra level of security against unauthorized access to your data.
