Remote access to the database may be required if you need to allow the developer to work with a database or you already use a third-party app for recording in the database, like for bulk adding items to the online store.
To enable remote access to MySQL, add an IP that will be used for connection into the “Remote MySQL” section in cPanel. You also need to tell us this IP and your cPanel login, so that we could allow access on our side. If you need remote access from multiple (or unlimited) IPs, shared hosting will not work for you. For these purposes, we may offer VPS.
Another way to grant remote access to the database is to install phpMyAdmin. This is a regular PHP script, which can be added to the hosting as a regular website. You can use the autoinstaller in cPanel to install it or download source files from the official website and install it manually. You don’t need to allocate a separate domain or subdomain for this, you can just move it to the subfolder of the active website. For security reasons, we recommend restricting access to this folder through the htaccess file.
