A2 Hosting SQL Import Guide

A2 Hosting runs cPanel with SSH on most plans, so large imports are best done from the command line.

Typical limits

  • • phpMyAdmin upload and timeout limits
  • • Shared resource caps during heavy imports
  • • PHP memory limits on entry plans

Best fixes

  • • Import via SSH with the mysql CLI
  • • Use the MultiPHP INI Editor to raise limits
  • • Split large dumps for phpMyAdmin imports

Quick fix

Split your dump into smaller chunks before importing.
