Quick answer: in the control panel open Websites, select your website and go to Databases. Click Add database, give it a name, and create or attach a database user with a strong password. Use the database's Manage menu to open phpMyAdmin.

Create a database

  1. Open Websites and select your website.
  2. Open the Databases tab and click Add database.
  3. Enter a name, then create a new database user (or attach an existing one) and set a strong password.
  4. Keep the default full privileges unless you know you need fewer, then save.

Write down the database name, user name and password. Your website's config file (for example wp-config.php) needs them. The database host is usually localhost.

phpMyAdmin

Click Manage next to the database and choose phpMyAdmin. Use it to look at tables, import or export data. If the option is missing, open a ticket and we will enable it.

Safety

Export a backup before you delete or change tables. A deleted database cannot be recovered unless you have your own copy or a CloudZex backup.
