phpMyAdmin is a feature-rich tool written in PHP, which will present you with total control of a MySQL database. You can do virtually everything - set up fields, rows and tables, remove them or alter their content, export or import an entire database or just a particular part of it, and execute MySQL commands. The tool is necessary in case you would like to switch hosting companies, since you could conveniently generate a full backup of a database in a variety of formats (SQL, CSV, XML). You shall end up with only one file which contains the entire content of the database, so you could download it from the present provider, upload it to the server of the new one and import it via the same tool on their end. Your site will look exactly the same, simply because all script applications store their data inside a database. With phpMyAdmin you may also effortlessly search and replace content material of your preference across the entire website - a word, an expression or a link, for example.
phpMyAdmin in Shared Website Hosting
phpMyAdmin is available as a part of our Linux shared website hosting packages and you'll be able to access it at any time through your Hepsia CP. All databases which you create in the account shall be listed in alphabetical order inside the MySQL Databases section of the Control Panel and all it will take to gain access to any of them will be to click on the small phpMyAdmin icon, which will be on the right side of each and every database. You'll not have to enter any info, as you'll be logged in automatically in a new browser tab. If you prefer to sign in manually rather than going through the Control Panel, you shall be able to do this via our direct phpMyAdmin login page where you shall have to type in the database username and password. This option is useful if you need to give access to a particular database to a third party, for instance a web designer.
phpMyAdmin in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you have a semi-dedicated server plan through our company, you will be able to access phpMyAdmin to control any MySQL database you create in your account through the Hepsia hosting CP. A new tab will open within your Internet browser whenever 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 will not have to type in the database username or password. If you want to provide access to another person such as a web designer, for example, you can give them the database login details and they'll be able to log in through a direct link to phpMyAdmin, so they shall never need access to your entire web hosting account. This option will allow you to keep your files and emails safe at all times.
