This option is unavailable for packages hosted on our WordPress platform due to its WP-optimized nature. If you need to create a MySQL database, you'll need to carry out a Platform Transfer to move the website to our Linux target="_blank">web hosting platform.

To create new MySQL databases:

1. Log in to cPanel.

2. Under Web Tools, select MySQL Databases. Here you can complete the following actions:

Create new MySQL databases. Each MySQL database has a maximum size of 1024MB (1GB).

Manage existing databases.

Add additional MySQL users to databases.

Manage your additional MySQL users.

3. Under Add a new MySQL Database, choose a name for your database. Database names must be between 6 and 20 characters long, and we automatically add a suffix to avoid name collisions with other users.

4. Once you have chosen a name, click Create Database. Your new MySQL database will automatically appear in the Manage MySQL Databases section underneath.
