Key Steps

  1. Access the hosting control panel and select "Manage Hosting"
  2. Choose the relevant hosting package and click "Manage"
  3. Navigate to "MySQL Databases" under Web Tools
  4. Enter a database name (6–20 characters) and click "Create Database"

Important Limitations: This feature is unavailable for packages hosted on the WordPress platform due to its WP-optimised nature. Users requiring database creation on WordPress hosting would need to migrate to the Linux platform instead.

Database Specifications: Each MySQL database supports up to 1024MB of storage. The system automatically generates a password and appends a suffix to database names to prevent conflicts among users. From the management dashboard, users can modify passwords, monitor usage, or remove databases.
