It is easy once you get used to it. Here is how to set up a MySQL database connection:

  1. Log in to your control panel and open MySQL.

  2. Create a new MySQL database.

  3. Create a MySQL user on the same page.

  4. Add the MySQL user to the database, usually with All Privileges enabled.

Your database is now ready to use.

To connect your website or application, you will need:

  • Database name

  • Database username

  • Database password

  • Database host

If you are asked for the database host, check your hosting welcome email or contact support. The hostname can be different depending on the server your account is hosted on.
