phpMyAdmin

Learn what phpMyAdmin is, just what it’s used for and the reasons why you will need it for your web sites.

phpMyAdmin is a highly efficient PHP-based tool employed to control MySQL databases via a web interface. You may employ it to run MySQL commands, create, change and remove cells, rows and tables or handle users with separate levels of access to the database in question. Each one of these tasks could be completed from any device given that you have a web browser and access to the website hosting account where the database is. With phpMyAdmin, you may also export or import an entire database, which is a very beneficial function if you want to migrate an Internet site from one web hosting company to another. A variety of file formats are supported for the so-called dump file - CSV, SQL, XML and PDF, based upon what you need to do - move the content from one hosting account to another, preview a whole database in a spreadsheet application for instance Microsoft Excel, and so forth.

phpMyAdmin in Shared Hosting

phpMyAdmin is available as part of our shared hosting packages and you'll be able to access it at any time via your Hepsia CP. All databases that you create inside the account will be listed in alphabetical order inside the MySQL Databases section of the CP and all it shall take to gain access to any of them shall be to click on the tiny phpMyAdmin icon, which will be on the right side of each database. You will not have to type in any information, as you'll be logged in automatically in a new Internet browser tab. If you prefer to log in by hand rather than using the CP, you'll be able to do this through our direct phpMyAdmin login page where you will have to enter the database username and password. This option is helpful if you need to give access to a specific database to some third party, such as a web designer.

phpMyAdmin in Semi-dedicated Hosting

phpMyAdmin is one of the tools that come with all our semi-dedicated hosting. You can log into it and manage any of your MySQL databases if you click on the phpMyAdmin icon situated on the right side of each database you have created using your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You won't have to do anything else, as our system will log you in automatically and you could proceed with the tasks you want to do - import a database file from another company, change some content, etc. You can access a database by using the direct phpMyAdmin login page too, but in this situation you'll have to type in the correct username and password. You can use this option if you hire a web developer, as they can work on your website without accessing your hosting CP. This way, all files and email messages that you have inside the account shall be safe.
