All script apps such as forums or online shops keep their data in a database - a group of cells and tables which contains all the site info such as items, prices, comments, and many others. Whenever you open a particular page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the specified info, then displays it. The intermediary software which connects the script and the database is known as a database management system and amongst the most famous ones is MySQL. The latter is commonly used simply because it functions on a variety of platforms (Windows, Linux, UNIX) and with a number of scripting languages (PHP, Perl, Python, Java), not mentioning its excellent performance even with large databases. A lot of widely used platforms like WordPress or Joomla™ work with MySQL databases to save their content.

You'll be able to change the password, remove a database or allow remote access to it just as easily. For the latter option you'll be able to pick the IP addresses which will be able to connect to the database remotely in order to ensure that unauthorized people shall not be able to access your info. If you would like to see the database content or change any cell or table via the CP, you may use phpMyAdmin, a powerful web-based interface.
