From your service page, click phpMyAdmin in the quick access grid. This opens the database management tool directly — no separate login needed.

  2. Click the Import tab
  3. Click Choose File and select your .sql file
  4. Click Go to start the import

Exporting a Database (Backup)

Creating a New Database

Use MySQL Databases in cPanel (not phpMyAdmin) to create new databases and assign users to them.

WordPress Database

Your WordPress database name and credentials are in your wp-config.php file. Be careful editing WordPress tables directly — always take a backup first using JetBackup.
