Each of our servers runs MySQL Server 5.1. A MySQL server is only responsible for the hostees on his own server, i.e. hostees on ghost will have to use ghost's MySQL server.
We provide two alternatives to access your database using a web-based frontend: phpMyAdmin and (the more leightweight and faster) SQLBuddy.
Both are available via HTTPS only at <yourservername>.puffinhost.com/phpMyAdmin/ and <yourservername>.puffinhost.com/sqlbuddy/.
The server certificates currently in use are signed by Comodo CA Ltd. and should fully validate in your browser.
The certificate serial numbers are
| server | serial number |
|---|---|
| ghost | 00:93:45:E6:00:0D:36:95:13:E4:0F:49:4A:28:DC:0F:C2 |
| cypher | 27:B2:19:70:0F:46:0B:88:FD:68:21:FE:3F:DC:CE:D7 |
If you receive a certificate warning, do not enter your username and password!
If you need more databases, more database users or other special features, contact us providing the name of database (note that your database name will always be prefixed with your username, e.g. u_someuser_databasename
