In order to have a complex site with forums, blogs, site engines such as Joomla or e107, you must have access to an important tool to store the data that drives those scripts.
With our services, you have access to the powerful and versatile MySQL database engine complete with MySQLi extensions.
MySQL Databases
To create and administrate your databases, you can use the MySQL Databases feature which allows you to create and remove databases as well as perform backups and launch phpMyAdmin to manupulate the data within the database.
To create databases you simply give them a name such as forum and click on the Create Database button to make the database, you will then see it on the left hand side listed as host_123456_forum which is the name of your new database.
Of course we’ll get into databases including managing them a bit more later, this is just a general here’s where you’ll find that option.
