How to Create ' Database' and 'User' in cPanel

Why need to create 'Database' and 'User' in cPanel?

Creating a MySQL database and user in cPanel is essential for running dynamic websites and web applications that rely on storing, retrieving, and managing data such as WordPress, Joomla, or custom PHP applications. MySQL databases are used to store your website’s content and data.

This guide will show you how to create a database and user in cPanel so your site or app can connect and function properly.

Login to cPanel.

Note: These login details you can retrieve in your email. You may need to check your Inbox, Spam, or Junk folder for an email with the subject: 'New Account Information'

Perform a search in the search bar for Manage My Database .



Enter the preferred name for your new database in the New Database field and then select Create Database.

Info : Opting for a database name that is related to your domain name may make it easier to remember the database's name.



Continue scrolling down until you find the Add New User section, and provide the necessary information. You can choose the username for the database in a way that suits your domain. If you prefer, you can also use the Password Generator feature to automatically create a strong password. After you've finished inputting the required information, click on Create User .



Within the Add User To Database section, you should locate the username you previously created for both the User and Database , and then click the Add button.



You already finish the step!
