Most website software, such as WordPress, stores its content in a database. If you install an app using our one-click installer, the database is created for you. You only need to create one yourself if you’re installing software manually.
First, log in to your Enhance panel – see how to login to Enhance Panel.
Create a database
- Select Websites in the left side bar, then select the website you want to manage.
- Select Databases in the top navigation.
- Select Add database and enter a name for the database.
- Create a new database user by filling in the user details, or choose an existing user.
- Select Add.
New users get full access to the database by default. Leave All database privileges ticked unless your software’s instructions tell you otherwise.
Make a note of the database name, username and password – your website software will ask for them. Use a strong, unique password.
Add another database user
- Select Websites in the left side bar, then select the website you want to manage.
- Select Databases, then Add user.
- Fill in the user details, and choose which database they should have access to.
- Select Add.
To manage your databases directly, see how to open phpMyAdmin.
