Dynamic applications like WordPress store their content in a MySQL database. Creating one in cPanel takes a minute with the database wizard.
Open MySQL Database Wizard, name your database, then create a database user with a strong password. The wizard walks you through each step so nothing is missed.
Add the user to the database and grant all privileges so the application can read and write. Note down the database name, username and password — your application needs all three to connect.
Enter those details into your application’s configuration (for WordPress, that’s during install or in wp-config.php). The host is usually localhost on shared hosting. A correct match here is what gets your app online.
The MySQL wizard creates a database and user in a minute — grant all privileges and note the credentials your application needs.
