phpMyAdmin is a feature-rich tool coded in PHP, which shall present you with complete control over a MySQL database. You can do practically everything - create fields, rows and tables, remove them or change their content, export or import an entire database or only a particular part of it, and execute MySQL commands. The tool is very important in case you want to switch web hosting providers, because you could conveniently generate a full backup of a database in a number of formats (SQL, CSV, XML). You shall end up with just one file which 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 internet site will look exactly the same, because all script applications store their data in a database. With phpMyAdmin you could also conveniently search and replace information of your choosing across the entire web site - a word, an expression or a link, for instance.
phpMyAdmin in Semi-dedicated Servers
phpMyAdmin is among the tools which come with all our Linux semi-dedicated hosting service. You may log into it and control any of your MySQL databases if you click on the phpMyAdmin icon situated on the right side of each database which you have created using your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You shall not have to do anything else, since our system will log you in automatically and you can proceed with the tasks you should do - import a database file from another service provider, change some content, and so forth. You may access a database by using the direct phpMyAdmin login page as well, but in this situation you will have to enter the correct username and password. You can use this option if you hire a web developer, as they can work on your Internet site without accessing your website hosting CP. This way, all files and e-mails that you have inside the account will be protected.
