What are my database host and port details?
The standard connection details for all MySQL/MariaDB databases on our cPanel servers are:
Host: localhost
Port: 3306
Connecting remotely?
If you want to connect to your database from an external application (like MySQL Workbench), you must:
- Log in to cPanel
- Go to Remote MySQL
- Add your IP address to the Access Hosts list
Once added, the host to connect to would be your domain name, server IP address, or server hostname.
Where do I manage my databases?
You can manage your databases in cPanel > Databases:
- Use MySQL® Databases to create or manage databases and users. For more information please see this article.
- Use phpMyAdmin to view or edit database content
