Connecting to SQL Server with SQL Management Studio or Visual Studio
SQL Management Studio provides ultimate control and flexibility when working with SQL Server Databases. However, opening direct connections to SQL Server poses many security issues. That is why we provide a VPN Client called SecureLink for secure access to SQL Server and MySQL Server from your local computer.

SecureLink establishes TLS/SSL links between your computer and the Database Server, ensuring secure and encrypted communication. Once you download and install this tool, you can log in with your Hosting Control Panel credential and use your hosted SQL Server and MySQL Server databases as if they were on your local machine.

You can then use SQL Management Studio or Visual Studio Server Explorer to connect to the Database Server.

Your locally running Websites can also connect to Hosted Databases through SecureLink.
