Manage your website databases

Steps

1. Go to Websites → [site] → Databases (or your hosting package's Databases page).
2. Here you can see the databases attached to your site and manage them.
3. Use the provided database tools to inspect tables or run maintenance. Your app (e.g. WordPress) connects to its database automatically.

Tips

• Back up your site (which includes the database) before making manual changes — see Back up and restore your website.
• Database connection details for apps are managed for you during install.

Troubleshooting

• "Error establishing a database connection" — usually a plugin or config issue; restore a recent backup or check recent changes.
• Database growing large — review logs/transients; consider a cleanup plugin.
