Access databases from another hosting provider
This document explains how to manage incoming and outgoing connections between several hosting environments, particularly for accessing databases.
Connecting to databases between hostings
From a shared hosting environment
If you are using a shared hosting (excluding the old v1 - 60 Go formula), you have the possibility to access databases located on:
- another shared hosting environment,
- a hosting based on a Cloud Server.
It is therefore possible to share a database, establish a remote connection, or even configure cross-access between hostings.
From a Cloud Server
With a Cloud Server, it is also possible to connect to databases hosted on another Cloud Server.
- In this case, make sure that port
3306(TCP protocol) is open for incoming traffic in the firewall.
Note: Connections to databases hosted on a shared hosting are not possible from a Cloud Server.
From another hosting provider
