Requirements :

SQL Server Management Studio is a free software which you can download from Microsoft website.

To connect to the Database Engine:

  1. In Management Studio, on the File menu, click Connect Object Explorer.
  2. The Connect to Server dialog box opens. The Server type box displays the type of component that was last used.
  3. Select Database Engine.
  4. In the Server name box, type the name of the instance of the Database Engine. For the default instance of SQL Server, the server name is same as your windows hosting server name. E.g: win4.fastwebhost.com
  5. Select “SQL Server Authentication” option.
    1. Login: The database username you created in your Database Manager within your Plesk Control Panel for the domain.
