All of our Windows and UNIX Amherst web hosting accounts both come with PHP, mySQL Databases, CGI, Email, FTP, Webmail, Website Statistics and a host of other features that will enhance your Amherst, Massachusetts web hosting experience.

PHP and mySQL are both widely-used website scripting language and website database that are used in many Amherst websites today. The combination of PHP/mySQL gives your website the power of website programming and database use at a very affordable Amherst hosting cost.

PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language. Much of its syntax is borrowed from C, Java and Perl with a couple of unique PHP-specific features thrown in. The goal of the language is to allow Amherst web developers to write dynamically generated pages quickly on your Amherst Web Hosting Account. Although do keep in mind that PHP is not as powerful as Microsoft ASP.NET and mySQL is no Microsoft SQL Server, for most smaller Amherst websites this does matter but for bigger websites we recommend ASP.NET and MS SQL Server as the database as this combination is very robust and scalable for your Amherst website applications. ASP.NET and MS SQL Server are only available on our Windows Amherst Web Hosting plans which are not as cheap as the Unix Amherst web hosting plans.

Gensap provides MySQL on all of our Amherst, Massachusetts Windows and Unix web hosting plans. MySQL is the world's most popular open source database, recognized for its speed and reliability. MySQL AB, the company founded by the creators of the MySQL database, provides MySQL software development and related support and services.

With the Gensap mySQL online administration area, you can manage your Amherst website database very easily and make database exports at a touch of a button.
