All script apps such as forums or virtual stores save their information within a database - a set of cells and tables containing all the site info like items, prices, comments, and many others. When you open a particular page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the specified information, then shows it. The intermediary software that connects the script and the database is referred to as a database management system and among the most well-known ones is MySQL. The latter is widely used because it works on a variety of platforms (Windows, UNIX, Linux) and with a number of scripting languages (Python, Perl, PHP, Java), not mentioning its great efficiency even with massive databases. A lot of well-known platforms including Joomla™ or WordPress employ MySQL databases to save their content.

Creating or changing a MySQL database will be quite simple with each of our web hosting. This can be carried out via our feature-rich Hepsia CP through which you can create or delete a database, create a backup with just one mouse click or take advantage of the highly effective phpMyAdmin tool to change cells and tables or import an entire database if you are moving a script-driven website from another service provider. You could also enable remote access to any database within your account and decide from what IP addresses the connection shall be established, to guarantee the protection of your data. If you opt to use any of the script platforms which we offer you with our script installer, you won't have to do anything as our system will create a whole new database and link it to the Internet site automatically.
