phpMyAdmin is a powerful PHP-based software tool which is used to manage MySQL databases using a web interface. You could employ it to run MySQL commands, create, change and delete cells, rows and tables or manage users with various levels of access to the database in question. All these tasks can be carried out from any device as long as you have a web browser and access to the website hosting account in which the database is. With phpMyAdmin, you could also export or import an entire database, which is an extremely helpful feature if you need to migrate a web site from one web hosting provider to another. Several different file formats are supported for the so-called dump file - CSV, SQL, XML and PDF, dependant upon what you want to do - move the content from one web hosting account to another, preview an entire database in a spreadsheet app like Microsoft Excel, etc.

phpMyAdmin in Shared Hosting

phpMyAdmin is a part of each and every shared hosting we provide and it's accessible through our in-house made Hepsia CP. A tiny phpMyAdmin icon will be displayed on the right side of any database you set up inside the MySQL Databases section of the Control Panel and by clicking on the icon for the database you want to access, you'll be logged into the app instantly in a new tab of your browser. Then you can do anything 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 use the Control Panel, you will also be able to sign in via a direct phpMyAdmin login page, but you ought to know the database account information. The last feature is handy if you have to grant access to a database to a third-party.
