Some plugins and mods need a database to store their data, such as player stats, economies, permissions or bans. You can create one in a few clicks, and the panel even writes the connection lines for your plugin’s config file.

Create a database

1

Open Databases

Open your server, then click Databases in the sidebar. The top shows how many you’ve used, for example 0 of 3 databases used. The second number is your plan’s limit.
2

Click Create database

Click Create database.
3

Name it

Type a short name, for example economy. The panel adds a prefix so the name is unique, and shows the real name, for example s7608_economy. Use that full name in your plugins.
4

Choose where it can be reached from

  • Anywhere is the usual choice. Your plugins and tools such as phpMyAdmin need it. The database still needs the user name and password.
  • One address only only accepts logins from one address. Plugins connect from the server, not from your computer, so a wrong address stops them connecting. Only pick this if you’re sure.
5

Create it

Click Create database. You see Database created. Its password is shown on its card.
Create a database dialog with the name docs, a note that it will be called s7608_docs, and Anywhere and One address only options

Creating a database

​
Use the connection details

Each database has its own card with everything your plugin needs. Every value has a Copy button.
Database card with Host, Database, User name and Password fields with Copy buttons, Open in phpMyAdmin, Rotate password and Delete buttons, and a Connection snippets section with a Plugin config example

A database card

​
Connection snippets

Open Connection snippets and pick a Format to get ready-made lines to paste:
  • Plugin config
  • LuckPerms
  • CoreProtect
  • FiveM (oxmysql)
  • JDBC URL
  • Node.js (mysql2)
  • PHP (PDO)
  • Python (PyMySQL)
  • mysql command
Click Copy and paste the lines into your plugin’s config file. Key names differ a little between plugins, so copy across the values you need.
The snippet shows YOUR_PASSWORD until you click Show on the password. It then fills in the real password by itself.

​
Open phpMyAdmin

phpMyAdmin lets you look at and edit your database in the browser.
1

Open it

Click Open in phpMyAdmin on the database card, or Open phpMyAdmin at the top of the page.
2

Sign in

phpMyAdmin has its own sign-in page. Use the database’s User name and Password from the card.

​
Change the database password

If you think the password has leaked, create a new one.
1

Click Rotate password

Click Rotate password on the database card.
2

Confirm

Click Create new password. The old password stops working straight away. Your data isn’t touched.
3

Update your plugins

Copy the new password and put it in every plugin, mod or bot that uses this database. Then restart your server.

​
Delete a database

Deleting a database removes all its tables and data for good. There’s no way to get them back, and no backup of the database is kept. Plugins that use it stop working.
1

Click Delete

Click Delete on the database card.
2

Confirm

Type the full database name, for example s7608_economy, and click Delete database.

​
Troubleshooting

Check you copied the full database name with its prefix, the user name and the password. Make sure the host and port are right. If you chose One address only, the address may be wrong. Create a new database with Anywhere.
You’ve reached your plan’s database limit. Delete one you don’t use, or open a ticket to ask about more.
Use the database’s user name and password from its card, not your Game Panel login. If you rotated the password, use the new one.
No. Server backups contain your server’s files. Export important data from phpMyAdmin if you want your own copy.

File Manager

Paste the details into your plugin’s config.

Restart your server

Apply the new settings.
