Linux SQLite Database Web Hosting

What is SQLite?

SQLite is a lightweight database engine. A database engine is the portion of a database management system that creates, retrieves, updates and deletes information from a database. SQLite is:

Self-contained – SQLite requires very little support from external libraries or an operating system.
Serverless – An SQLite database does not require an intermediary process for a software application to read or write to it, something that most databases require.
Zero-Configuration – SQLite doesn't have any configuration files and it doesn't need to be installed before use.
Transactional – Edits to a SQLite database can be rolled back in case they are not completed properly (i.e in the case of a program crash). If a partial edit occurs, the database will be rolled back so that it is identical to the version before the edit.

SQLite Support at A2 Hosting

A2 Hosting's ability to support SQLite stems from our dedication to maintaining the best and greatest versions of PHP 5 on all of our servers.
