If you are a beginner and you do not know how to tune your MySQL server, you can start with a program called MySQLTuner. It will help you to analyze your server and to tune MySQL for better overall performance. We have written a tutorial about how to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/install-and-use-mysqltuner-on-ubuntu-14-04\/\">install and use MySQLTuner on Ubuntu<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Another useful guide that you might like to check is the guides about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/basic-mysql-database-administration-on-a-linux-vps\/\">basic MySQL database administration on a Linux VPS<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-install-mywebsql-on-ubuntu-16-04\/\">How to Install MyWebSQL on Ubuntu 16.04<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-28441\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Installing-MySQL-on-Ubuntu-16.04.jpg\" alt=\"Installing MySQL on Ubuntu 16.04\" width=\"114\" height=\"150\" \/>If you have a VPS with us, there is no need to Install MySQL on Ubuntu 16.04 yourself.
