MySQL Hosting

MySQL is an open source tool for database management that uses Structured Query Language (SQL) - the most commonly used language for managing and processing database information.

"Open Source" means that the source code for the program is openly available for editing by programmers who want to adapt the program to better serve their own needs. It works with various software languages such as Mac, Windows, Linux, Apache, MySQL, and most notably PHP (also abbreviated as LAMP, WAMP and MAMP).

Easily run as a local server or remotely through your web host, MySQL is one of the easiest to use database management systems available to add, edit and process database information.

As an RDMS, or relational database management system, it can store data in an easy to read table format that can be cross referenced, creating one large library of information.

Access is acquired either by server name or IP address, allowing the user to input commands from programming scripts (most often PHP) and communicate and interact with the databases.
