Hosting for Backend & Database Development Modules
Student Web Host Manager (SWHM) provides secure, automated PHP & MySQL hosting for backend development, database design, CRUD applications, and API teaching — fully aligned with teaching blocks and academic deadlines.
Why Backend & Database Modules Need Real Hosting
Backend programming and database development require more than a code editor — students need real servers, real databases, real connections and real deployment environments. SWHM gives every student a safe, isolated space to build:
- CRUD applications
- Authentication systems
- REST API endpoints
- PHP-based dynamic sites
- MySQL-driven web applications
- Server-side processing workflows
Instead of simulations, students gain experience with actual hosting systems used in industry.
Automatic Database & Hosting Provisioning
When a student logs into SWHM via Azure AD:
- A cPanel hosting account is created automatically
- A MySQL database is provisioned instantly
- phpMyAdmin access becomes available immediately
- Secure isolation ensures no cross-account access
- A domain/subdomain is created for deployment
- SSL is installed automatically
This removes all setup delays and eliminates manual IT workload.
Perfect for Backend-Focused Courses
SWHM supports the full backend teaching curriculum, including:
- Server-Side Programming (PHP)
- Database Design & MySQL
- API & Microservice Development
- Form Handling & Authentication
- Data Models & Relationship Structures
- Session & State Management
Real-World Database Skills
Students learn essential backend concepts using real tools:
- Executing SQL queries
- Managing database tables
- Creating indexes and relationships
- Connecting PHP applications to databases
- Debugging database connection issues
- Working with live data
This mirrors industry workflows — ideal for employability-focused modules.
Teaching Block Automation & Deadline Control
Backend projects often involve continuous updates. SWHM ensures accurate assessment and academic integrity:

No more late edits, disputes or manual intervention from lecturers.
