Create MySQL Database using the Database Wizard
Step 1 -
Log into cPanel and open the
MySQL Database Wizard.
Step 2 - Name your database and hit
Next Step. Your database's name will always start with
cpanelusername_
Step 3 - Create a user for the database. Again, this will start with
cpanelusername_
For the Password we recommend using the password generator which will make a password that's hard to crack. Make sure you copy the password and username somewhere safe on your computer.
Step 4 - Select the user's privileges and add the user to that database. If this is the main user for this database you will want to select
All Privileges.
Step 5 - All done! If you need to add another database or user, there are options on this page to do so easily. If you'd like to change a database user's password in future,
