Add-on
One more database for a website
Every website on our servers has its own MySQL database. On plans with a fixed number of databases, add another one to a website when it needs it, ready as soon as you pay.

- Up to 10extra databases per website
- 30 daysa backup kept after you delete one
What it is
Some plans include a fixed number of databases per website, for example PBN hosting and the plans that list 2 or 4 databases. When a website needs one more, for a second application, a separate shop or a copy of its data to test with, this add-on gives that website another MySQL database for a monthly charge.
Plans that say “Unlimited databases”, such as WordPress hosting, never need it: create as many databases as you like there. This add-on is not offered on those plans.
What you get
A real database beside the website’s own, managed from the same card.
In your phpMyAdmin
The website’s own database user can use the new database too, so the site’s one-click phpMyAdmin shows it beside the site’s database.
Its own login
Each extra database also has its own username and a password we show you once and do not store.
Backed up before it is deleted
Delete a database and we take a backup first and keep it for 30 days. If the backup cannot be made, nothing is deleted.
How it works
Open the website
In your dashboard, choose the website and open its Databases card.
Add a database
When every included database is in use, buy one more and pay in the same window.
Name it and use it
Type a short name, copy the password we show once, and connect your application.
What it costs
A monthly charge per extra database, on the same invoice as your hosting.
Extra database
$1.00/month
Plans with unlimited databases include them at no charge. Add-ons are bought per site from your dashboard and appear on your normal invoice — no separate account, no second bill and no minimum term. Prices exclude tax, which is worked out from your billing country at checkout.
Questions
Can I add one on a WordPress plan?
There is no need. WordPress plans include unlimited databases, so you can create as many as you like.
How many extra databases can a website have?
Up to 10 extra databases per website, on top of the databases its plan includes.
Does an extra database count towards my database size?
Yes. The website’s database size limit covers its own database and every extra one together, and the usage meter adds them up.
What happens when I delete one?
We back it up first and keep the backup for 30 days. Ask support within that time if you need it back.
Can I use it for a website hosted somewhere else?
No. Extra databases are for websites on our own servers. For a database that is its own product, see managed databases.
