phpMyAdmin is a feature-rich tool coded in PHP, which shall present you with complete control of a MySQL database. You could do absolutely anything - create fields, rows and tables, remove them or alter their data, export or import an entire database or just a particular part of it, and execute MySQL commands. The tool is necessary in case you need to switch hosting companies, simply because you may very easily generate a full backup of a database in different formats (SQL, CSV, XML). You'll end up with a single file that contains the whole content of the database, so you can download it from the current provider, upload it to the web server of the new one and import it via the same tool on their end. Your internet site will look exactly the same, for the reason that all script applications store their data within a database. With phpMyAdmin you could also conveniently search and replace information of your preference across the entire website - a word, an expression or a link, for example.
phpMyAdmin in Cloud Hosting
phpMyAdmin is provided as a part of our Linux cloud hosting plans and you will be able to access it anytime from your Hepsia CP. All databases that you set up inside the account will be listed in alphabetical order in the MySQL Databases section of the CP and all it will take to log in to any of them shall be to click on the small phpMyAdmin icon, which will be on the right side of each database. You'll not need to input any info, because you'll be logged in automatically in a new browser tab. If you'd like to log in manually and not going through the Control Panel, you shall be able to do this via our direct phpMyAdmin login page in which you'll have to type in the database username and password. This option is handy if you want to offer access to a certain database to some third party, such as a web designer.
phpMyAdmin in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you host your script-driven website in a semi-dedicated server account from our company, you'll be able to manage the website database manually without difficulty because you can sign in to phpMyAdmin straight from your hosting Control Panel. Any MySQL database you create shall be listed in the Databases section of your account and it will have a phpMyAdmin icon on its right side. Accessing the tool for a certain database is as easy as clicking on that icon and our system will open a new tab inside your web browser and it'll log you in automatically, to permit you to export/import or change any content you want. We also provide the option to log in directly to phpMyAdmin without going through your Control Panel. In cases like this, the login is manual and requires a username and a password. This feature allows you to grant access to a certain database to other people without giving them access to your website hosting account.
