Do bot plans include MySQL databases?
Many bots need to store data — user settings, guild configs, leaderboards — and our Discord Bot plans include MySQL databases so you can do exactly that. This article covers what's included and how to manage your databases.
MySQL is included
Yes — your plan includes MySQL database(s), which you create and manage right in the Databases tab of the panel. There's no separate signup or add-on to get started; the database feature is built into your bot hosting.
Creating and managing a database
- Open your server in the panel and go to the Databases tab.
- Create a new database — the panel provides the host, database name, username, and password.
- Plug those connection details into your bot's config or environment variables.
Tip: Store your database credentials in your Startup variables or a config file rather than hard-coding them into your source.
Frequently asked questions
