MySQL & phpMyAdmin safety practices

Exports, imports, and precautions when managing databases on HostStack cPanel hosting.

Never expose remote MySQL access broadly; whitelist IPs tightly when absolutely needed.

Large imports sometimes exceed PHP upload caps — split dumps or adjust temporarily within HostStack policy limits.
