phpMyAdmin is a web-based tool used to manage MySQL databases. After creating a database in the Cloud Sites control panel, you can use this tool to run queries, import/export data, and manage tables.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Log in to the Cloud Sites Control Panel.
  2. Click on the Databases tab in the main navigation menu.

  6. Enter the Database Username and Password you created during the database setup.
  7. Click Go.

  • Reset Passwords: If your login failed, go back to the Cloud Sites Control Panel to update your database user password.
