phpMyAdmin

Discover what phpMyAdmin is, exactly what it’s employed for and the reasons why you will be needing it for your websites.

phpMyAdmin is a feature-rich tool coded in PHP, which shall give you full control over a MySQL database. You can do virtually everything - create fields, rows and tables, delete them or alter their content, export or import an entire database or just a certain part of it, and execute MySQL commands. The tool is necessary in case you would like to switch web hosting providers, as you could very easily generate a full backup of a database in several formats (SQL, CSV, XML). You'll end up with one file which contains the whole content of the database, so you could download it from the current provider, upload it to the server of the new one and import it using the same tool on their end. Your site shall look exactly the same, simply because all script applications store their data within a database. With phpMyAdmin you may also easily search and replace information of your choosing across the entire website - a word, an expression or a link, for example.

phpMyAdmin in Website Hosting

phpMyAdmin is a part of every website hosting which we provide and it is accessible through our custom-built Hepsia CP. A small phpMyAdmin icon will be shown on the right side of any database you set up inside the MySQL Databases section of the Control Panel and by clicking on the icon for the database you want to access, you'll be logged into the app instantly in a new tab of your Internet browser. Then you can do anything you would like - export the entire or a part of the content, import a database, run SQL queries, search and change terms. If you don't want to go through the Control Panel, you will also be able to sign in using a direct phpMyAdmin login page, but you must know the database username and password. The last feature is useful if you have to provide access to a database to a third-party.

phpMyAdmin in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you have a semi-dedicated server package through our company, you shall be able to access phpMyAdmin to control any MySQL database that you create in your account from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. A new tab will open within your browser the moment you click on the phpMyAdmin icon for a specific database and you'll be logged into the state-of-the-art tool automatically, so you'll not have to enter the database username or password. If you would like to give access to another person like a website designer, for instance, you can give them the database login info and they shall be able to log in from a direct link to phpMyAdmin, so they will never need access to your whole web hosting account. This option will allow you to keep your files and emails safe at all times.
