When you use a script-driven application for your website, any information that both you and the site users produce will be stored inside a database - a collection of info, that is structured in cells and tables for simpler reading and writing. The latter is accomplished by employing special software called database management system and one of the most well-known ones globally is MySQL. A lot of script applications are built to work with MySQL because it is easy to use, it functions very well on a web server and it's universal as it can work with well-known web programming languages (Java, Perl, Python, PHP) and on various server Operating Systems (UNIX, Linux, Windows). There are hundreds of scripts that use MySQL, including really popular ones for example WordPress, Moodle and Joomla™.

The in-house built Hepsia Control Panel offered with our shared website hosting packages will permit you to control all your MySQL databases easily. It takes only a few mouse clicks to set up a new database and with just one more click you can 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, erase a database or enable remote access to it just as fast. For the latter option you'll be able to opt for the IP addresses which will be able to connect to the database remotely so as to ensure that unauthorized people shall not be able to access your info. If you would like to see the database content or change any cell or table via the Control Panel, you may use phpMyAdmin, an efficient web-based interface. Using any one of our script-driven apps will also be quite simple as our script installer will set up a database for the script that you have picked automatically.
