Nexcess Managed WordPress Database Management

The database is the engine of your Nexcess Managed WordPress site, storing all of your content and settings. Every post, page, comment, user, and configuration option resides in the database. The performance and health of this database are therefore critical to your website’s overall speed and reliability.

On a Managed WordPress plan, Nexcess system administrators manage the MySQL server environment to ensure it is secure, updated, and optimized. Your role in database management involves interacting with your site’s specific data. Common tasks include accessing the database directly via phpMyAdmin for advanced troubleshooting, running search-and-replace queries, or cleaning up tables to improve performance.
