How to Connect to Your Database Remotely Using DBeaver

This guide explains how to connect to your WordPress database hosted on Rocket.net using DBeaver, a popular database management tool.

Step 1: Request Remote MySQL Access

Before anything else, you must ask our support team to allow your IP address for remote database connections.

Please contact Rocket.net Support and provide the following:

• Your site name or domain
• Your public IPv4 address (https://whatismyipaddress.com/)

Our team is available 24/7 and will enable remote MySQL access for your IPv4 address.

Step 2: Find Your Database Host & DB credentials

Once remote access is enabled, log in to the Rocket.net control panel.

1. Go to https://control.rocket.net
2. Open your site by clicking ‘Manage’
3. Navigate to Site Information
4. Locate the FTP / SSH / SFTP Address

This address will be used as the database host in DBeaver.

Next, you need your database credentials from the wp-config.php file under File Manager. Note down the following values:

• Database Name
• Database Username
• Database Password

Step 3: Create a New Database Connection in DBeaver

Now open DBeaver on your computer and from the top menu, click Database ⏩ New Database Connection ⏩ Choose MySQL  ⏩ Click Next

Fill in the connection details as follows:

• Host: FTP / SSH / SFTP Address from the control panel
• Database: Database name from wp-config.php
• Username: Database username
• Password: Database password
• Port: 3306
  
   

After filling in the details, click Finish:

If everything is correct and your IP is allowed, the connection will be established successfully.
