WMS databases

Unlike the Webhosting service, where the database size is determined by the service plan, with WMS you allocate resources to the databases directly. Detailed information can be found in the article WMS – Increasing parameters.

WMS service databases exist separately from its webhostings. This has the following consequences:

• You set up and manage databases directly in the WMS interface, not in its webhosting.
• You can assign a separate operator to the database.

Changing the operator of a WMS database

By default, the database operator is the operator corresponding to the WMS service. If you want to change it, edit the Service operator details form in the database detail, check the consents, and save. The system will generate and send a new data processing agreement.
