How to Import Databases via phpMyAdmin on Thamara

You can easily import your MySQL databases to your Thamara Cloud hosting account using phpMyAdmin, available in your cPanel dashboard.

Follow the steps below to complete the process

Steps to Import a Database

1. Log in to your cPanel.

Access your Thamara Cloud cPanel from your client area or directly via your domain link.

2. Locate the “Databases” section, then click on the phpMyAdmin icon.

This will open the phpMyAdmin dashboard in a new tab.

• If the database does not exist yet:
• • Create a new database and a database user from MySQL® Databases.
  • Assign the user full privileges for that database.
  • Make sure to note down the username and password for later use.

 For more details, check our guide: “How to Create or Delete a MySQL Database or User”

• Select the database name from the left-hand sidebar inside phpMyAdmin.

• Click the “Import” tab at the top of the main window.

• Upload your SQL file:
• • Click Choose File, then select the .sql file from your computer.
  • Once attached, scroll down and click the Go button.
• Wait for confirmation:

A success message will appear, confirming that your database import was completed successfully

Tips from Thamara Cloud:

• Make sure your .sql file is smaller than your PHP upload limit (you can check this under php.ini settings).
• If your SQL file is too large, consider using SSH or Command Line Import instead.
