Plugins like LuckPerms, CoreProtect or a shop, and many Discord bots, keep their data in a MySQL database. Your plan includes databases: open your server and click Databases.
Create a database
- Click New database, give it a short name (for example
luckperms) and click Create. - Click the eye icon on the database to see its details: Endpoint (host and port), Username and Password.
- Put those in your plugin’s or bot’s config. The database name is the one shown in the list (it starts with
sand a number).
Download a copy
Under the list, Download or upload a database has a Download .sql button for each database. It saves a full copy to your computer. Keep it as a backup, or take it with you to another host. Big databases take a minute.
Upload your database
Moving from another host? Export your database there as .sql (or .sql.gz), then:
- Click Upload .sql next to the database and pick the file (up to 95 MB).
- Read the warning: tables with the same names are replaced. Download a copy first if you’re not sure.
- Click Yes, upload it and keep the page open until it says it’s done.
- Restart your server or bot so it reconnects.
If the file has an error, the upload stops at that line and shows the database’s message. Everything before that line is already in. Bigger than 95 MB? Open a ticket and we’ll import it for you.
