phpMyAdmin is a feature-rich tool developed in PHP, which shall offer you total control over a MySQL database. You can do practically everything - create fields, rows and tables, remove them or modify their data, export or import an entire database or just a particular part of it, and execute MySQL commands. The tool is vital if you need to switch web hosting providers, as you may very easily create a full backup of a database in several formats (SQL, CSV, XML). You'll end up with only one file which contains the whole content of the database, so you could download it from the current provider, upload it to the server of the new one and import it via the same tool on their end. Your internet site shall look exactly the same, due to the fact that all script applications store their data inside a database. With phpMyAdmin you could also conveniently search and replace content of your choosing across the entire internet site - a word, an expression or a link, for instance.
phpMyAdmin in Shared Hosting
You will be able to employ phpMyAdmin to access any database you create in a shared hosting account purchased from our company simply because we supply the tool by default with all hosting plans. Once you log in to your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and create a new database in the MySQL Databases section, a little phpMyAdmin icon shall appear on its right-hand side. What is needed to log in automatically is to click on that icon and the tool will open in a new browser tab, so you can manage the database data. That is also how you could import a database if you are moving your site from another provider to our sophisticated cloud hosting platform. An alternative way to log in to a database is if you use our direct phpMyAdmin login URL, but you have to know the DB username and password. This option will enable you to provide access to any database to other people, without giving them access to the entire web hosting account.
phpMyAdmin in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you have a semi-dedicated server plan from our company, you'll be able to access phpMyAdmin to control any MySQL database you create in your account through the Hepsia hosting CP. A new tab shall open in your browser the instant you click on the phpMyAdmin icon for a specific database and you'll be logged into the advanced tool automatically, so you will not have to type the database username or password. If you want to provide access to another person like a web developer, for example, you could give them the database login info and they'll be able to log in using a direct link to phpMyAdmin, so they'll never need access to your entire hosting account. This option will allow you to keep your files and emails safe at all times.
