Databases in cPanel can be accessed remotely by other web servers. This can be useful if you want to allow applications such as shopping carts or guestbooks on your other servers to access the databases.

- Enter the host’s name or IP address in the Host text box.
- You may enter a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) or an IP address.
- You may use
%
as a wildcard. For example, to allow access from all IP addresses that begin with123.45.0
, you can enter123.45.0.%
.
- Click Add Host.
Deny a remote server access to your databases
