MySQL Hosting
MySQL is an engine that stores and retrieves information using a structured query language (SQL). It is a relational database management system that operates using command lines instead of a graphical user interface. It is multi-thread, meaning it can accomplish multiple tasks at the same time. It is multi-user, meaning it can service multiple users simultaneously. MySQL is an open source program but is owned by a private company. The rights to use it are given for free, but the rights to develop it are withheld. MySQL is thus a proper name; the common name for hosting using the relational database system called SQL is "SQL database hosting."
The Rise of MySQL Hosting
MySQL uses the principles of any database management system. A database management system stores information in the form of tables, making it possible to store information in a very ordered manner. Hence, the term "structured query language." SQL server hosting does not require a GUI, or graphic user interface, because the commands can be given faster through direct commands happening behind the scenes. When you click on the buttons on a website, the SQL issues command lines to access information needed to carry out your request. MySQL hosting is a form of SQL hosting that has become quite popular perhaps due to the great demand for SQL database hosting in general.
If MySQL is Free, How Does Its Owner Make Money?
MySQL hosting requires knowledge of how MySQL can be exploited fully. The business model of firms such as the owner of MySQL generates money outside of selling the license to use it. This type of open source business model generates profit from training services and technical support. It also generates profit when the engine is sought to be used contrary to the license; the company will then issue a proprietary license to allow the desired usage.
Is a Database Management System all I Need to Run a Good Website?
No. A relational database management system is only part of what you need to run a website. A website will need to be written using other tools. The database management system is what will handle the large volumes of information that come in and out of websites. If you hope to service myriads of users, you will need a system that can handle the traffic of entries common to everyday Internet transactions.
