MySQL

A relational database management system often bundled with hosting plans, widely used for powering dynamic websites, content management systems, and applications.

MySQL is one of the most widely used database systems in web hosting. It stores and organises the information that powers dynamic websites, from blog posts to customer accounts. When a visitor loads a page, MySQL retrieves the right data instantly and sends it to the server to display. It's open source, fast, and supported by nearly every major hosting provider. WordPress and many other CMS platforms rely on it completely. MySQL is efficient, reliable, and scalable, making it an essential part of modern web development and hosting infrastructure.
