We assume you already have a SQL dump/schema file of your database on your computer, or you have it uploaded on your hosting account with us.

To import the SQL dump/schema file, you have two options:

Using the Import Wizard

Access the MySQL Databases section of your hosting Control Panel, select the MySQL 5 or MySQL 8 tab based on the MySQL version of your database. Click on the gear icon next to the database you wish to import into, and select the Import option.

After that, you can choose a file from your local computer for upload, or click on the or select an uploaded file link to import a file you have already uploaded to your account. If the database does not already exist, you need to create it first.

Using phpMyAdmin

Detailed information on importing a database through phpMyAdmin is available in our Importing a database using PhpMyAdmin article. In case the SQL file that you wish to import is larger than 20 MB, you should use the database Import Wizard described above.
