MySQL® Databases

Create a MySQL database and its user for an application such as WordPress, change the user's password, or delete a database.

Reference Checked against panel v2.3.2 Updated 11 Oct 2026 · 3 min read Open in your panel

MySQL® Databases lists the databases on your hosting account and lets you create and delete them. Applications such as WordPress keep their content in a database. Each database comes with exactly one user, which has all privileges on that database and nothing on any other. Both names start with your hosting account's username and an underscore, for example acme_wp, and the panel adds that part for you.

If you would rather be guided one step at a time, use the Database Wizard.

Create a database

  1. In the panel, open Databases → MySQL® Databases.
  2. Under Create New Database, type the name in New Database, after the prefix. Use lower-case letters, numbers and underscores, for example wordpress.
  3. Type the user's name in Database User, for example wp. The same rules apply.
  4. Enter a Password, or click Generate for a strong one. It needs at least 10 characters with upper- and lower-case letters and numbers.
  5. Copy the password somewhere safe: your application needs it, and the panel does not show it again.
  6. Click Create Database.

The panel confirms that the database "and its user were created". Give your application these settings: the database name and user name with the prefix, the password, and localhost as the database host.

Current Databases shows each database with its Size and its Privileged User. A Suspended badge means the database is switched off. Use Search to find a database or user, and click a column heading to sort.

To see or change the tables inside a database, click phpMyAdmin at the top of the page. See phpMyAdmin.

Change the user's password

  1. Click Change Password on the database.
  2. Enter a New Password, or click Generate.
  3. Click Change Password.

Delete a database

  1. Click Delete on the database.
  2. Read the message, then click Delete database.
