Step 3:- Now you can see that a box is there in which you can fill the name of your database you want to create. For creating a database name. Fill the name and click at “Next Step”.
Step 4:- Again a new page appears to you where you have to create a new user for your database. You have to fill the name of the user you want to create and after that, there are two other boxes to fill for the password. You can generate a new password with the option shown there or you can add any password of your own.
It is always recommended to use a very strong password for safety purpose. After filling all the information you have to click on “create user” option and your new user is ready.
Step 5:- Now it is the last step to follow and after that, you will not ask how to create a database? There are many options to choose in front of you on this last page. This step is for adding a user to the database. You have to select “All Privileges” and all the options will be selected.
The final thing you need to do is to click on “next step” option and at the next page a message will be shown to you for congratulating you for creating your MySQL database.

There are many bloggers who don’t feel good working with control panel. But there is nothing difficult. Using cPanel is fun. I like to do new things with it. If you want to do any change in your website then its important that you should know about technical things.

Hey Ravi,
It was only the other day I visited my host and got into C-panel. I was a little edgy and very careful. But it appears from your instructions that it is a simple process. I always get nervous around this techy stuff because if I do it wrong – well generally there are no fix it instructions or if there are they are well above my head. Great post and encouraging for people like me. Thanks.

Hello Ravi,
This is a very wonderful tutorial. Database is an integral part of any website and no site can perform without it.
Some people might assume that they don’t have to learn how to create it but you might find yourself in a situation where you will have to create one someday especially if you want to install wordpress manually or if you want to create an addon domain on your host.
Thats why this tutorial is very useful and I’m going to share it immediately.
Hi Theodore,
You are right. Bloggers should know how to create a database. When you try to add a new domain at your web host then you should know about creation of database. When you transfer your website from one host to another then you should create to a new database where you will upload your old one.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us.
