All script applications like forums or e-stores keep their info inside a database - a set of cells and tables which contains all the site information such as items, prices, comments, and many others. When you open a particular page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the needed info, then shows it. The intermediary software which connects the script and the database is referred to as a database management system and among the most famous ones is MySQL. The latter is commonly used as it works on various platforms (Linux, Windows, UNIX) and with a number of scripting languages (Java, Perl, Python, PHP), not mentioning its amazing efficiency even with large databases. Many well-known platforms like Joomla™ or WordPress work with MySQL databases to keep their content.

That can be performed through our feature-rich Hepsia Control Panel in which you can create or erase a database, create a backup copy with a single click or take advantage of the highly effective phpMyAdmin software instrument so as to change cells and tables or import a whole database if you are moving a script-driven Internet site from another service provider. You may even enable remote access to any database within your account and choose from what IP addresses the connection shall be established, so as to ensure the safety of your info. If you opt to employ any of the script platforms that we offer with our script installer, you will not have to do anything because our system will set up a new database and link it to the website automatically.
