Need help accessing phpmyadmin from Plesk?  Look no further, I have the perfect way to get that done from any dedicated hosting setup.  In order to access phpmyadmin if you are using Plesk you must follow the steps listed bellow:

You must first login to your control panel via:

https://www.yourdomain.com:8443/

and enter your username and password.

You must have already created a database: See our article “How to create a mysql database”

Once the database is created:

1. Click on the “Database” icon in Plesk
2. Choose your database you want to manage
3. Click on the “DB WebAdmin” icon

A popup window will open for phpmyadmin (make sure you do not have a popup blocker installed to prevent this).

You can now edit tables, fields and data as well as perform backups of your mysql database from within phpmyadmin.

and if you are using cpanel then you must follow the steps listed bellow:

1. To access the MySQL Account Maintenance Menu, click on the    icon above the words MySQL Databases on the main screen of your cPanel interface.
2. Click on phpMyAdmin

Now you are in and ready to manage phpmyadmin from within your dedicated hosting account.

CPanel is arguably the most powerful control panel on the planet when it comes to dedicated server hosting. This is why it’s also the most popular choice for webmasters these days. If you’re unfamiliar with cPanel’s web hosting technology, you should definitely research this amazing control panel before you add it to your dedicated server. But cPanel works with a variety of really cool programs, not the least of which is the Fantastico Script Library.

What is Fantastico?

Fantastico is a fantastic script library, which is a fancy of way of saying it automates the process of installing really cool software on your server, like blogs, CMS, photo galleries, and more.

Why Fantastico?

Fantastico simplifies the process of installing a blog or other popular software extensions onto your website. Instead of downloading the necessary scripts, then uploading and installing them to your site, then configuring them based on your system, Fantastico allows you to click on a button and the rest is done for you automatically.

What does Fantastico web hosting include?

The better questions is what doesn’t Fantastico web hosting include, because it literally comes with everything you’ll need to get your website up and running in no time. Here’s a brief rundown of what comes with Fantastico by default:

• Blogs – including WordPress!
• Content Management Systems – including Joomla, Mambo, and Post-Nuke!
• Ticketing Systems
• FAQ Systems
• Chatroom Software
• Forum Software – including SMF!
• Ecommerce Software – including osCommerce!
• Image Galleries
• …and more!!
