All script applications like forums or online stores store their information within a database - a group of cells and tables which contains all the Internet site information such as items, prices, comments, etc. Each time you open a certain page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the necessary data, then shows it. The mid-level software that connects the script and the database is known as a database management system and among the most widely used ones is MySQL. The latter is frequently used simply because it can run on a variety of platforms (Windows, Linux, UNIX) and with numerous scripting languages (Java, Perl, Python, PHP), not mentioning its amazing effectiveness even with large databases. A lot of popular platforms like Joomla™ or WordPress employ MySQL databases to keep their content.

MySQL 5 Databases in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You shall be able to use any script that requires MySQL with each of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting considering the fact that we have the newest version set up on all servers - MySQL 5. Through our in-house built Hepsia hosting CP, you'll be able to easily create or delete a database, change its password, back it up with a single mouse click or check out the hourly and daily access statistics for it. If you would like to manage the content of a database directly, not by using a script, you will have 2 options - either using the web interface of the phpMyAdmin tool, which is available inside the Control Panel, or using an application installed on your PC since we support remote database access. For the latter option, you will have to include your IP address from the hosting account first as an added level of security against unauthorized access to your information.
