To Set up a MySQL Database for Your Web Site
- Log in to your Account Manager.
- In the My Products section, select Hosting.
- Next to the hosting account you want to modify, click Manage Account.
- In the Databases section of the Hosting Control Center, click the MySQL icon.
- Click Create New Database.
- If you want to use DSN with this database, select Create DSN.
- Enter a user name and password, and click Continue.
- Verify your MySQL database settings. If everything looks OK, click Create Database.
It may take a few minutes to create your database. Click the Refresh button in your browser to check and see if your database is ready.
Once you have set up a database for your account, you can click on the Pencil icon next to the name of your database to find your host name information.
