Remote MySQL activation from the Hostico client account.

Introduction

• For situations where, for various reasons, remote access to the MySQL database is needed, the function can be activated temporarily or permanently from the Hostico client account;

Requirements

• An active service in the client account;
• An IP address;

Steps

• After logging in to the client interface, access the Services section from the menu displayed on the left side of the page;
• Next, we will proceed to the service to which we want to add the remote MySQL access permission;
• On the opened page, navigate to the Actions section, then click on Remote MySQL;

The open window will contain two fields:

• IPv4 Connection - The IP address you want to add;
• Hours - The time for keeping the IP as an exception;

Complete the two fields, then confirm the addition by clicking the "Add" button;

• If the action was successful, we will be greeted with the following message "The exception has been added";
• For situations where we want to permanently add an IP, you will once again access the Remote MySQL button, and then click on the Permanent text;
• If you wish to remove the IP address faster than the previously set time, the Delete button will fulfill this function;

Note

• There can be two IPs added concurrently at the level of a hosting package;
• Temporary addition can be set for a minimum of 1 hour and a maximum of 24 hours, with the possibility of cancellation from the account if necessary;
• At the moment of opting for permanent addition, a support ticket will be opened in your client account, and the implementation will be confirmed by the Hostico support department;
• For adding an IP in the permanent list, the reason for the request must be justified;
• At the moment, the function to add IP in remote MySQL is only allowed for shared packages, so if you want to add it on a VPS, you will need to contact Hostico's technical department.
