Database Management in WHM

Oversee your server's databases with WHM. Access phpMyAdmin, manage remote MySQL access, and repair tables to keep data running smoothly.

Use WebHost Manager (WHM) to manage the server-wide MySQL or MariaDB database services for all cPanel accounts.

Individual databases and users are created within cPanel. WHM provides administrative-level database management tools. From WHM, you can use phpMyAdmin to directly access any database on the server, configure remote MySQL connections, and run maintenance tasks like repairing databases and tables.

  • Upgrading MySQL in WHM

    If you have a managed server with WHM/cPanel, you can use the WHM interface to upgrade your MySQL with just a few clicks. While you can still use command line (SSH) to upgrade your MySQL, it is more involved than using the graphical interface of WHM and EasyApache.
