Interserver provides

shared, vps and dedicated hosting powered by Chive

Chive was originally developed back in 2009 because of a lack of tools for database administration. The developers created this web-based solution to help manage and design databases more quickly and easily than was otherwise possible. This system had some innovative features and was quite popular thanks to the options that weren’t available through standard software like phpMyAdmin.

Other developers have caught up and incorporated all these features into their standard tools, making Chive largely obsolete. This has resulted in the developers ending their support of Chive in July of 2014. While it will technically still work for certain things, it is not a supported app so it doesn’t make sense for anyone to start using it now without some type of very good reason.

Chive Review

  • Initial Setup
    If you do choose to use Chive, it can be installed on your InterServer hosting platform in just minutes using the one-click installation feature. This is a great choice for those who have used Chive in the past and just need it to support specific projects. Once it is installed, you can begin using it to manage databases right away. There is no need for extensive setup or adjusting of the system from the way it works right after install.
  • Features
    When this system first came out, it had quite an elaborate user interface that made managing databases via the web far easier than was possible before. The features were innovative, and have since been adopted by just about all the other main database management tools around today.
  • Plugins
    This system didn’t have much for plugins, though they really weren’t needed when the system was being used by a wider audience. You could install the system as it is and use it, or code in your own additional features if needed, but beyond that you are stuck with the system as it comes.
  • Customization
    Compared to modern tools, Chive really isn’t very customizable at all. When it came out, it was a good option that you could configure to work how you wanted. You can adjust the color scheme and layout, both of which can help make the tool easier to use.
  • Cost of Running
    Chive is free to use for any projects you would like. The only expenses associated with it is the web hosting services that are needed. It can run on any InterServer hosting package without any trouble, so this will help to keep costs to a minimum. In fact, most people will install it right on the server where the databases being managed are located, which means no additional hosting is even needed.
  • Other Programs like it

    Unless you have a pressing need, this is not a good option to consider because it is no longer supported. The following are some great options that can be added to your web hosting account with just one click when you are a customer of InterServer:

  • Final Thoughts
    Chive really did a great job at pushing the envelope for what a database management tool that is based on the web can do. Since it hasn’t been supported for years, however, there is really no good reason for someone to start with this tool now days. There are plenty of options that are better, and better supported, to consider.
