You can also choose the regions where you want to create your database.

## Connect to the Database Once you have created a database, you can connect to it using the `Endpoint`, `Port` and `Password`. You can find them in the database details page.

## Connect to the Database using Medis Lastly open Medis and click on the `New Server` button. Enter the `Host`, `Port` and `Password`, but leave the `Username` empty. If you have enabled `TLS (SSL)` on your database, you need to enable it in Medis as well.
