The Remote MySQL feature access allows remote hosts (servers) to manage your databases. To set it up, first, you need to allow the desired remote IP to connect to your database. This can be done by accessing Websites → Manage, searching for Remote MySQL on the left sidebar, and clicking on it:
In the newly opened window, you will be able to create the new connection by filling in the details:
IP (IPv4 or IPv6) - the IP address from which the remote connection will be initiated
Any Host - click this checkbox to allow the connection from any IP. This will add a % symbol in the IP field
Database - select the database which will be remotely accessed
When all is good to go, click on Create:
You can find the MySQL server hostname on top of the Create remote database connection section:
The default port for remote connections is 3306 💡
After the remote access is created, you will be able to remove it if needed on the Remote MySQL section:
That's it! Now you know how to set up and manage remote access to your databases 😊
