You can take a snapshot of your current droplet, create a new droplet off of that snapshot, and then modify your configuration files replacing your old domain with the new one. You might want to delete your existing MySQL data too. To do that, run the following command:
sudo apt-get purge mysql-server 'mysql-server-core-*'
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/mysql
sudo apt-get purge
Then follow this tutorial to reinstall MySQL.
MySQL and MariaDB are relational databases used in many unique situations. However, they can pose a security risk for your system and your data if you do not secure them properly. This guide will introduce some basic considerations and steps you can take to ensure that your data is more secure.
