Most web applications, including WordPress, need a database. The quickest way is the Database Wizard.
- In cPanel, go to Databases > Database Wizard.
- Enter a database name and click Next Step.
- Create a database user with a strong password and click Create User.
- Tick ALL PRIVILEGES and click Next Step.
Your database and username will be prefixed with your cPanel username, for example cpuser_shop. When your application asks for connection details, use:
- Database host:
localhost - Database name and username: the full prefixed names
- Password: the one you just set
You can browse and edit your databases with Databases > phpMyAdmin.
