I'm trying to import a database backup that is over 100MB, but phpMyAdmin is timing out. Is there another way to do this?

Hello Vikas, for large database imports, it's best to bypass the phpMyAdmin upload limits. You can upload the `.sql` file to your account via the File Manager or FTP, and then import it using the command line via SSH. The command would be something like: `mysql -u your_db_user -p your_db_name < /path/to/your/file.sql`. If you are not comfortable with SSH, our support team can import it for you.
