Databases

We can install one or more databases for you to help manage product and customer information. Using MySQL, the free application included with all of our hosting packages, we can create a database that is secure and robust. The power of databases is the versatility that it provides to the information you enter. Enter it once and is can be updated instantly and accurately throughout the site. MySQL databases can also serve as a storage container for sensitive items such as usernames, passwords and contact information.

You can manage your database information through the included PHPMyAdmin software installed with your hosting plan or through a customized web interface. With accurate directions PHPMyAdmin is easy to use and your database is easily maintainable by anyone, regardless of programming skills or knowledge.

MySQL
MySQL is the world's most widely used open-source database software. MySQL is a relational database system that is used to store information. MySQL can store many types of data from something as tiny as a single character to as large as complete files or graphics. Although it can be accessed by most programming languages, it is often coupled with PHP because they work together with ease.

Information stored in a MySQL database hosted on a web server can be accessed from anywhere in the world with a computer. This makes it a good way to store information that needs the ability to change over time, but also needs to be accessed over the net. Some examples that can utilize MySQL are a web calendars, forums, shopping carts, user directories and product information.
