phpMyAdmin is a feature-rich tool written in PHP, that will present you with complete control of a MySQL database. You could do practically anything - create fields, rows and tables, erase 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 irreplaceable in case you need to switch hosting providers, because you could easily create a full backup of a database in several formats (SQL, CSV, XML). You shall end up with only one file that contains the whole content of the database, so you could download it from the current provider, upload it to the hosting server of the new one and import it through the same tool on their end. Your website will look exactly the same, simply because all script applications store their data in a database. With phpMyAdmin you can also quickly search and replace information of your choice across the entire internet site - a word, an expression or a link, for instance.
phpMyAdmin in Hosting
phpMyAdmin is a part of each and every Linux hosting service we offer and it is accessible from our custom-made Hepsia CP. A little phpMyAdmin icon will be displayed on the right side of every database which you create in the MySQL Databases section of the CP and by clicking on the icon for the database which you want to access, you shall be logged into the application automatically in a new tab of your browser. Then you can do anything you would like - export the whole or part of the content, import a database, run SQL queries, search and replace terms. If you do not want to go through the Control Panel, you shall also be able to sign in using a direct phpMyAdmin login page, but you ought to know the database username and password. The last feature is beneficial if you have to grant access to a database to a third-party.
phpMyAdmin in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you host any script-driven site inside a semi-dedicated server account from our company, you shall be able to handle the site database manually with ease because you can sign in to phpMyAdmin directly from your hosting Control Panel. Any MySQL database that you set up will be listed inside 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 basic as clicking on that icon and our system shall 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 that you'd like. We also provide the option to sign in straight to phpMyAdmin without using your CP. In this situation, the login is manual and requires a username and a password. This function permits you to give access to a certain database to other people without giving them access to your web hosting account.
