NexCloud Paid Hostingprovides database management directly through the Pterodactyl panel. Databases can be created and managed without requiring direct access to the database server.

​
Creating a Database

  • Open your server in the NexCloud Panel.
  • Go to Databases.
  • Click Create Database.
  • Select the available database host.
  • Enter a database name.
  • Create the database.
  • Wait for the database to finish provisioning.
Once created, the database credentials will be displayed in the panel.

​
Database Credentials

Depending on your application, you may need:
  • Database Host
  • Database Port
  • Database Name
  • Database Username
  • Database Password
Use these credentials in your server’s configuration file or environment variables.

​
Connecting Your Server

For applications such as Minecraft plugins, websites, or bots, enter the database information in the application’s configuration. Make sure the application uses the database host and port provided by NexCloud rather than assuming localhost.

​
Managing Databases

From the Databases section, you can manage the databases assigned to your server. Available options depend on the permissions and database configuration of your hosting plan.

​
Database Security

Keep your database credentials private. Never publish database passwords in:
  • GitHub repositories
  • Public Discord messages
  • Screenshots
  • Public configuration files
  • Support tickets
If your database credentials are exposed, contact NexCloud Support for assistance.

​
Deleting a Database

Before deleting a database, make sure you have a backup of any important data. Deleting a database can permanently remove its stored information and may not be reversible.
Important: NexCloud provides database infrastructure for your server, but you are responsible for maintaining backups of important application data and ensuring your database is used securely.
