What is a Database and how do I add one on my hosting package?

Start by accessing your Web Hosting dashboard.

Under the Databases section, select MySQL Database Wizard.

Start by giving your database a name. Once done, click Next Step.

On the next page, create your users by entering their details and then select Create User.

On the next page, set which privileges you’d like the user to be able to perform. If you want them to be able to perform all privileges, select the ‘All Privileges’ box at the top. Once done, click Next Step.

You’ll then be shown a message confirmed that the user was successfully created. You can then choose whether to add another database or user by selecting one of the options below.
