If you use a script-driven app for your website, any info that both you and the website users generate will be stored inside a database - an accumulation of info, that is organized in cells and tables for easier reading and writing. The latter is carried out through special software known as database management system and one of the most well-known ones worldwide is MySQL. A large amount of script applications are created to work with MySQL because it’s user-friendly, it performs perfectly on a web hosting server and it's universal as it can function with widely used web programming languages (PHP, Java, Perl, Python) and on a number of hosting server Operating Systems (Linux, UNIX, Windows). There are hundreds of scripts that use MySQL, including quite popular ones for instance WordPress, Moodle and Joomla™.

MySQL 5 Databases in Shared Web Hosting

You shall be able to use script-driven platforms which require a MySQL database with each one of the shared web hosting plans we offer you. You can set up a whole new database from the Hepsia website hosting CP and the amount of databases which you can have at a time will depend on the package which you select. We also offer you advanced options to handle your databases, including a one-click backup and remote access.

MySQL 5 Databases in Semi-dedicated Servers

You shall be able to use any script that requires MySQL with all of our semi-dedicated hosting plans due to the fact that we have the newest version installed on all servers - MySQL 5. Through our in-house built Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you'll be able to swiftly create or remove a database, change its password, back it up with one mouse click or check out the hourly and daily access statistics for it. If you want to handle the content of a database directly, not through a script, you shall have two options - either using the web interface of the phpMyAdmin tool, which is available in the CP, or using an application set up on your PC since we support remote database access. For the latter option, you will have to include your IP address from the web hosting account first as an extra level of security against unauthorized access to your information.
