phpMyAdmin is a powerful PHP-based software tool used to control MySQL databases via a web interface. You could employ it to run MySQL commands, set up, modify and delete cells, rows and tables or control users with different levels of access to the database in question. All these tasks can easily be performed from any device as long as you have an Internet browser and access to the web 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 would like to migrate a web site from one hosting provider to another. Several different file formats are supported for the so-called dump file - CSV, SQL, XML and PDF, based on what you would like to do - move the content from one web hosting account to another, preview a whole database in a spreadsheet app for instance Microsoft Excel, and so on.
phpMyAdmin in Shared Hosting
phpMyAdmin is part of each Linux shared hosting that we provide and it is accessible from our in-house made Hepsia Control Panel. A little phpMyAdmin icon will be displayed on the right side of each database that you create in the MySQL Databases section of the CP and by clicking on the icon for the database you want to access, you shall be logged into the app immediately in a new tab of your Internet browser. Then you can do anything you'd like - export the whole or a part of the content, import a database, run SQL queries, search and replace terms. If you do not want to employ the CP, you'll also be able to sign in through a direct phpMyAdmin login page, but you ought to 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
We supply phpMyAdmin with every semi-dedicated server account due to the fact that our plans support MySQL-driven websites. The tool is integrated in our in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel and if you want to edit any database, you just have to go to the MySQL section and click on the phpMyAdmin icon for a particular database. You won't need any login credentials due to the fact that you will be logged in automatically. If you don't want to use your CP or you would like to give access to any database to another person for some reason, you shall also have an alternative option - to visit our phpMyAdmin direct login webpage where our system shall require the database account information. If you hire a web developer, for example, you can take advantage of this option to allow them to work on your Internet site without granting them access to any files, email messages or other databases inside the account.
