Discover what phpMyAdmin is, exactly what it's utilized for and the reasons why you will be needing it for your websites.
phpMyAdmin is a feature-rich tool developed in PHP, which shall offer you full control over a MySQL database. You can do practically anything - set up fields, rows and tables, remove them or modify their content, export or import a whole database or just a certain part of it, and execute MySQL commands. The tool is irreplaceable when you need to switch hosting providers, since you can conveniently generate a full backup of a database in a number of formats (SQL, CSV, XML). You shall end up with a single file that contains the whole content of the database, so you can easily download it from the current provider, upload it to the server of the new one and import it via the same tool on their end. Your site shall look exactly the same, for the reason that all script apps store their data inside a database. With phpMyAdmin you may also conveniently search and replace content material of your choosing across the entire web site - a word, an expression or a link, for example.
phpMyAdmin is featured as a part of our cloud website hosting and you'll be able to access it anytime through your Hepsia CP. All databases which you create in the account will be listed in alphabetical order inside 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 tiny phpMyAdmin icon, which will be on the right side of each and every database. You'll not have to input any info, as you will be logged in automatically in a new Internet browser tab. If you'd like to sign in manually rather than using the CP, you will be able to do so through our direct phpMyAdmin login page in which you'll have to input the database account information. This option is helpful if you want to offer access to a certain database to some third party, for example a web designer.
phpMyAdmin is amongst the software instruments that come with our Linux semi-dedicated servers. You can easily log into it and manage your MySQL databases if you click on the phpMyAdmin icon located on the right side of each database that you have created via your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You won't need to do anything else, as our system shall log you in automatically and you could proceed with the tasks you should do - import a database file from another hosting service provider, modify some content, and so forth. You can access a database by using our direct phpMyAdmin login page too, but in cases like this you will need to input the correct username and password. You may use this option if you hire a web designer, as they can work on your website without accessing your hosting Control Panel. In this way, all files and email messages that you have in the account shall be safe.
