A lot of script apps are built to work with MySQL because it is easy to use, it works very well on a hosting server and it's universal as it can work with common web programming languages (PHP, Java, Perl, Python) and on a variety of web server Operating Systems (Windows, Linux, UNIX). There are thousands of scripts that use MySQL, including extremely popular ones for example Moodle, Joomla™ and WordPress.
MySQL 5 Databases in Cloud Website Hosting
The in-house built Hepsia Control Panel included with our Linux cloud website hosting will allow you to take care of all your MySQL databases effortlessly. It takes only a couple of mouse clicks to create a new database and with only one more click you could back it up if you'd like to have a copy before you update your site, for example. You will be able to change the password, erase a database or permit remote access to it just as fast. For the latter option you can choose the IP addresses that'll be able to connect to the database remotely so as to ensure that unauthorized people won't be able to access your data. If you'd like to view the database content or modify any cell or table through the Control Panel, you can use phpMyAdmin, a powerful web-based interface. Using any of our script-driven applications will also be easy as our script installer will create a database for the script that you have picked automatically.
