MySQL Support White Paper
Connecting to the NetRegistry MySQL Server
When your database is initially created, you will be issued with a username and password to access your database. NetRegistry gives you full control over your database however, it is MySQL that imposes some limits upon users and allows them to perform only certain functions).
To login through the MySQL client, you will need to use a connection string (which is available from the Technical Support Staff at NetRegistry) similar to the following:
mysql <database> -h caelum.netregistry.com.au -u <username> -p <password>
If you are using other MySQL enabled database management software to login, you will only require the hostname (caelum.netregistry.com.au) and your username and password.
