What is a MySQL database?

MySQL is the world's most popular database system, which many content management systems such as WordPress or TYPO3 require. Together with the PHP scripting language, this database system is responsible for providing dynamic websites.


MySQL databases can process large amounts of data quickly, because the data is stored in such a way that as little storage space as possible is required. For this purpose, we provide our own MySQL servers, through which your MySQL databases are provided. For a look at how many databases you have available, check out our product comparison.
