MySQL Hosting & phpMyAdmin

Although you have direct access to MySQL, our cPanel platform also provides access to phpMyAdmin. This is an interfact that helps you manage MySQL with ease. In phpMyAdmin, you have access to manage every aspect from creating tables for datasets to modifying the information within. In fact, you can use the MySQL Database Wizard to quickly and easily create a database including its name, adding usernames, passwords, and setting up privileges.

Hosting with MySQL and PHP

When it comes to web development, PHP is perhaps the most common of coding languages. And when combined with a MySQL database, you have a powerful tool at your disposal. When visitors access your website or use your online apps, the data for those uses is most likely stored on a MySQL sever. Software such as Apache makes calls to this database to retrieve specific information. And our MySQL servers are optimized to accompany our hosting platforms to give you and your users the best experience possible.

Do I need MySQL hosting?

If you plan to operate a website using a content management system like WordPress, set up an online store, or otherwise collect information from your visitors, that data needs to be stored somewhere. In this case, it’s a MySQL server. Any online element that delivers dynamic content, such as posts or pictures, needs access to such database. Very few instances exist nowadays where you would build a static page without requiring information being stored.
