# How To Access Site Database Using Adminer In xCloud

> Access site database using Adminer in xCloud effortlessly. Enable, launch, and manage your WordPress database securely with our step-by-step guide

Your website’s database is stored on a server. If you want to access and manage the database manually with enhanced security, you need a third-party database management tool such as **[TablePlus](https://tableplus.com/)** using an SSH connection. However, **[xCloud](/)** offers a simpler method to access site databases using Adminer without a manual database connection. Although an SSH connection guarantees more security, we suggest enabling Adminer only when you find it necessary.

## **Understanding Adminer For Database Management In xCloud**

**Adminer** is a PHP-based lightweight database administration tool. It provides users with a web-based interface for managing databases, running SQL queries, and doing other database-related operations. With a single file deployment, Adminer offers a simple alternative to more complicated database administration systems such as phpMyAdmin.
