To import a database follow the below steps:

I have a backup of my database that I need to import/transfer to my new account.

– Once you have your .sql file you will need to log into your cPanel
– Click on ‘phpMyAdmin’ under the ‘Databases’ menu
– A drop down of your databases is displayed on the left side of the page, select the database you would like to import to.
– This will create some tabs at the top of the screen, click on ‘SQL’.
– This opens a text box and a file upload option.
– Click browse on the file upload option and find your .sql file
– After you have selected the file click GO and it will import your database.
