Using
the phpMyAdmin authoring tool you can easily
import/add an existing database to your current database. The only
restriction is that this file has to be of either .SQL
or .PHP type. If your database file is of a
different type, you will need first to convert it before importing to
phpMyAdmin.
Please
have in mind the fact that you can have only one database per shared
hosting account.
phpMyAdmin
is located on your shared hosting server. The URL should be http://hosting-server/phpmyadmin.
You will have to login using your MySQL database username and
database password. Note: Replace hosting-server
with the IP address or the hostname of the server which hosts your web
space.
Alternatively,
you can login to phpMyAdmin using the Aplus.Net
Control Panel:
- Start
by logging into the Aplus.Net Control Panel at http://cp.aplus.net
using your Registration Number and Customer Password.
- Select
Web Hosting from the top navigation bar.
- Next,
select Hosted Domains and click on Manage
Hosted Domains.
- Now,
select the hosted domain that you’d like to manage.
- Next,
click the MySQL Database Manager icon.
- You
will be automatically redirected to the phpMyAdmin administration tool.
Once
you have logged in to phpMyAdmin, please follow the
instructions below on how to import a .sql or .php
database file.
- Click
on the SQL Query window from the top navigation
bar.
- Browse
to the file on your local computer (Max. size is about 8 MB).
- Click
Go to import your file to your current
database.
Another
option is to load the database file using the Shell access included in
the Business Class Unix, Pro and eCommerce Unix shared hosting plans. You can find information
on how to do that in the following Knowledge base document:
