There are various ways to export your MySQL databases for safe keeping or transfer. The first method allows you to back up multiple databases via your Control Panel control panel and the second on a 'per database' basis via phpMyAdmin.

Backup/Restore

The control panel provides an easy way to download all databases associated with your hosting package. To access this page:

  • Access the Backup/Restore page: Control Panel > Backup/Restore
  • Ensure Databases is checked under Backup Type
  • Click Create Backup

A backup task will then be queued by our system. Once finished, a download link will be provided; this usually takes 1-2 minutes, dependent on the size of the database. You can then download a zip file containing all your MySQL databases.
