What is MySQL?
MySQL is the world’s most used Open Source database. MySQL is known for its exceptionally fast speeds, straightforward customization, flexibility and reliability. Many of MySQL’s advantages stem from its minimalist approach and code reuse. MySQL utilizes Structured Query Language (SQL). SQL is a computer language designed to add, retrieve and manage data within a database management system that uses a logical, easy-to-use syntax.
MySQL is a relational database management system (RDBMS). An RDBMS stores data in table format, with the relationship within the data also being stored in tables.
MySQL Hosting Advantages
- Multi-user access
- Top-notch security
- Enhanced connectivity
- Scalability (easily handles large databases)
- Speedy performance
- Extensive API Collection
- Relatively easy to learn
- Open source (free to use and large support community)
- Management from command line
Hosting With MySQL and PHP
PHP is used to place instructions into the pages of a website. When a visitor accesses your website, PHP-enabled web server software (like Apache in a LAMP stack) executes these instructions behind the scenes to retrieve information from a database to be displayed on the page. In this example, MySQL is the database that stores and organizes this large amount of information to be accessed by PHP’s instructions.
Example: Let’s say you would like to create a poetry website. Hosting with MySQL and PHP will save you time because you would only need to add all your poems to your MySQL database once and write one PHP file that could be used to locate any poem in your database and display it on your site. This is opposed to writing an HTML file for EVERY poem you want displayed on your site. This example is extremely simplified, but illustrates how MySQL’s and PHP’s relationship can create powerful dynamic websites.
MySQL Hosting & PHPMyAdmin

- PHPMyAdmin – The web based interface used to manage your MySQL database. Use PHPMyAdmin to create, modify, delete, execute statements, repair and optimize your MySQL databases.

What Our
Customers Have to Say
I recently transferred my e-commerce website from another hosting provider to a dedicated server with A2, and I must say, it’s been an exceptional journey right from the sales process to ongoing support. Throughout my interactions with A2’s agents (and there were quite a few), I was consistently impressed. Thank you, A2, for exceeding my expectations at every step of the way!
O. M.
A2 Hosting got my new VPS provisioned quickly and the staff were very knowledgeable. They took the time to understand my questions and answered them with accurate information. A very professional team. Highly recommended.
Brinkley
I recently migrated my website from a shared hosting plan to a VPS with A2 Hosting, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. Overall, I highly recommend A2 Hosting for their exceptional service and technical expertise. If you’re looking for a hosting provider that truly cares about its customers, look no further than A2 Hosting.
Susy G.
I’ve been with A2 for a while now (4 years) but only with relatively minor sites and projects. However, this year a major company I work with wanted to leave Shopify (multiple sites) so we opted for an A2 VPS server to host a single Woo/WP installation that could handle their aggregated traffic. Big project! Go live came along and we encountered various issues and was engaged in the live chat on various occasions. The support we received was out of this world, and on the majority of chats we raised we reached the same expert (Sourabh P. – CERTEFIED LEGEND). Without his help, the timely responses and the general expertise of the team we’d have lost thousands of dollars in lost sales. Can’t recommend A2 enough, and I do really try.
Jacob L.
I have been with A2 Host for seven years. Overall good performance (managed VPS), prices and service.
Blair K.
Been with A2 Hosting for a while now. Always good support when I needed it. Excellent uptime on VPS servers.
