MySQL is one of the most widely used database control systems on the market. A database is a collection of cells with info that are organized in tables and the management system is the software that links the information to a script app. As an example, a forum stores all posts, usernames, avatars and so forth within a database and each time a site visitor opens a particular thread, the forum script connects to the database and “calls” the content which should be accessible on a particular page. MySQL is very popular because of its great performance, simplicity and the fact that it can operate with numerous popular scripting languages such as PHP, Python, Perl, and so forth. All dynamic sites which are developed with a script-driven application need some kind of database and a lot of the most popular ones such as Joomla™, Moodle, Mambo and WordPress work with MySQL.

MySQL 5 Databases in Cloud Hosting

The in-house built Hepsia CP included with our Linux cloud packages will enable you to take care of all your MySQL databases with ease. It requires only a few clicks to set up a brand new database and with only one more click you could back it up if you would like to have a copy before you update your site, for instance. You will be able to modify the password, delete a database or allow remote access to it just as easily. For the latter option you may opt for the IP addresses that will be able to connect to the database remotely to make sure that unauthorized people won't be able to access your info. If you'd like to see the database content or edit any cell or table using the CP, you should use phpMyAdmin, a powerful web-based interface. Using any one of our script-driven applications will also be easy as our script installer will set up a database for the script you have selected automatically.
