phpMyAdmin is a feature-rich tool developed in PHP, that will present you with complete control over a MySQL database. You can do absolutely everything - set up fields, rows and tables, remove them or change their content, export or import an entire database or just a specific part of it, and execute MySQL commands. The tool is vital when you need to switch hosting providers, as you may conveniently create a full backup of a database in a variety of formats (SQL, CSV, XML). You'll end up with only one file containing 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 via the same tool on their end. Your website will look exactly the same, due to the fact that all script applications store their content inside a database. With phpMyAdmin you may also conveniently search and replace content of your choosing across the entire web site - a word, a phrase or a link, for instance.

phpMyAdmin in Web Hosting

phpMyAdmin is a part of each web hosting plan we provide and it is accessible via our in-house built Hepsia CP. A small phpMyAdmin icon shall be displayed on the right side of any database that you set up in the MySQL Databases section of the Control Panel and by clicking on the icon for the database that you want to access, you shall be logged into the application immediately in a new tab of your Internet browser. Then you can do everything you'd like - export the entire or a part of the data, import a database, run SQL queries, search and replace terms. If you don't want to employ the Control Panel, you will also be able to sign in through a direct phpMyAdmin login page, but you ought to know the database account information. The last feature is beneficial if you have to give access to a database to a third-party.
