Remote access lets you manage your database from desktop tools such as MySQL Workbench, HeidiSQL or DBeaver, as well as from phpMyAdmin.
Open your control panel: log in to the FariHost Client Area, go to Services → My Services, choose your hosting plan and click Login to Control Panel.
1. Allow your IP address
- Open your package's Remote MySQL Access tool.
- Choose the database user you want to connect with.
- Your current IP address is filled in automatically. Click Add Host. Only allow the IP addresses you need.
2. Connect from MySQL Workbench
- Click + next to MySQL Connections.
- Hostname: mysql.gb.stackcp.com (use this for remote connections, not the normal database hostname). Port: 3306.
- Username: your database username. Click Store in Vault to enter the password.
- Click Test Connection, then OK.
Can't connect? Your IP address may have changed. Add the new one in Remote MySQL Access. Some office or mobile networks also block port 3306.
