Database Manager

Database management may sound like a hard task to novice hosting users, however with Bell Hosting’s Database Manager, it’s in fact really simple! To make a whole new database, you only need to key in your username and password. Database back–ups are simply a click away as well.People who need to explore their databases and also change them are able to use the phpMyAdmin and phpPgAdmin tools.

We’ve developed the manual database back–up formation into a very easy job. To execute this: inside the Database Manager, click on the ’clock’ image beside the database that you want to back up and then wait for a couple of seconds for the backup process to take place. Depending on the size of your database, the building of any back–up file is going to take between a couple of seconds and a minute.

You may make as many backup copies of a database as you want. We’ve not specified any boundaries for the amount of databases that you could back up too.

PgSQL databases are less widespread in comparison to the prevalent MySQL databases. Then again, they represent a preferred alternative for designers who are looking for the utmost stability for their sites and web applications. Through the intuitive Database Manager built into the Bell Hosting Control Panel, you can administer all of your PostgreSQL databases with merely a mouse click.

You can discover PgSQL databases provided by default with the top Linux shared hosting packages. If you are with a regular hosting package, you’ll be able to ask for PgSQL databases to be added in your hosting account as upgrades.

The MySQL databases on Bell Hosting’s web servers utilize the newest release of the InnoDB storage engine. InnoDB is created to ensure the highest effectiveness for web sites that deal with significant volumes of data. It delivers CPU performance that could not be matched up by any alternative disk–based relational database engines.

InnoDB is ACID–compliant and provides 100% transaction support, meaning that you can update/insert/create/alter/drop many times for a single "operation" of your app. At the same time, it uses row–level locking and not MyISAM’s table–level locking, that improves multi–user concurrency and performance.

Monitoring the load caused by the databases for your active web site makes it possible to prevent any kind of overload problems that can slow it down and chase away visitors. For that reason, we’ve bundled a in depth Database Stats tool directly into the Online Control Panel. There you can get in–depth information on the incoming requests to your databases for each and every hour, day and month.

Depending on the volume of day–to–day and per hour queries, it will be easier to find out what databases are employed the most and consider actions to optimize their load.
