## DELETE /api/v2/shared-hosting/{accountId}/database-access-hosts/{host}

**Remove a database access host**

Stop allowing TCP connections to the account's MySQL databases from one host. Use the exact `host` from [`GET /api/v2/shared-hosting/{accountId}/database-access-hosts`](/endpoints/webhosting-services/get-v2-shared-hosting-accountid-database-access-hosts/). URL-encode it in the path. `%` is `%25`. The any-host wildcard is `/database-access-hosts/%25`. The call answers `204` whether or not the host was listed. `localhost` cannot be removed because the local socket is always allowed. The account must be active and on cPanel.
