Lunarpages MySQL Review
MySQL is the best open-source relational database management system available and it is the most popular. It is used by many sites for storing data including google, wikipedia, facebook and zillion others. Its popularity, is because is free and open-source, and because is used by the most popular web applications: wordpress (blog and content management system – CMS), joomla – cms, drupal – cms, phpbb – forum software, wikimedia (wikipedia), galleries, shopping carts and many other web scripts. So it is part of the features of almost all hosting companies (I have not met a web hosting company that do not have MySQL included in their list). PHP, Apache HTTPD server and Linux (LAMP) platform is the most widely used platform for creating web sites and it is the most used setup by hosts.
LunarPages MySQL
Lunarpages is no exception to this but they also offer windows hosting. Currently the latest version of MySQL is installed on their servers. To create new databases/users use cPanel control panel. To make it easier to you to install web software (wordpress, drupal etc) you can use Fantastico De Luxe one-click installer.
