If you are going to store data, its going to be stored in database. Not text file or any other format. Data storage in database will provide your quick access, easy managing and organising, security, and easy for data query. Thats are few reason database was created and used to storing data.

When you are running your website, most open source script like wordpress, phpbb, smf, joomla, mambo, zen cart, oscommerce cart, gallery, etc. All these script uses mysql database at the backend. Some script does require intensive database query and support. Thus, its important to check on the mysql database feature provided by your hosting company, just to make sure its fully supported.

From hostgator hosting, you are getting unlimited mysql database from their shared hosting plan; hatching, baby, swamp. Hostgator had upgraded this mysql database feature, and even the hatchling plan is with unlimited mysql database. But i highly recommend you sign up with baby hosting plan that offering unlimited domain hosting and unlimited mysql database, as you can host many websites in single account.

Login to hostgator cpanel to create/modify your mysql database. From cpanel, you can create database, create user account, and assign user role and add user to specific mysql database. A complete set of mysql database is not complete with phpmyadmin that allow you to update your database through web browser.
