How do
I create a new database?
You can create new databases in the SQL
feature of the Cpanel located at
http://your-domain.com/cpanel. This feature is
under the Advanced Menu.
First, you must
create the actual database. You just need to enter
a name for the database such as users. The
database will be created as yourusername_users.
Once done, you will need to create a
username and password in the MySQL system. A
username could be access. When created it will
becore yourusername_access.
Once done, you
need to add the user into the database. This is
the final step of creating a MySQL database.

phpMyAdmin. Instead, we offer this program
through the CPanel for you to use. PhpMyAdmin is
at the bottom of the SQL section in the
CPanel.
