Connecting to the MySQL Databasesection: Support SERVER NAMEPlaton Webhosting observers security principles also when communicating with the database. This secure communication is completely transparent and invisible for the client user. The database is operated on an independent database cluster in order to increase the output. The cluster is secured against access from outside and available only on a virtual private network, the so-called VPN. Thus, your web application will be able to access the data, but a potential attacker will not. Use the following database server to connect to your web applications at Platon Webhosting: localhost USER NAME AND DATABASE NAMEThe name of the database and user are identical. Their form is PREFIX_SUFFIX, where PREFIX is your customer identifier and SUFFIX can be chosen by you. Therefore all database names, or usernames, begin with the same prefix. A specific feature at Platon Webhosting is a shared user and shared database:
CONNECTION TESTThe community of programmers around the Platon group has developed a way to test the functionality of connection to a database directly on our server. Download the test PHP script on your computer, alter the login parameters so that they are correct and upload the script to your webhosting server. Once the browser reaches the script, you should be able to see information about a successful connection to the database as well as a report from testing of individual database operations.
