Creating MySQL or SQL Server Databases for Your Hosting Account
All of our hosting accounts support MySQL databases. Windows (Hosting Control Panel and Plesk) accounts also support MS SQL. Windows Hosting Control Panel accounts also support Access databases. This article covers MySQL and MS SQL; Access databases are covered in this article.
To Set Up a Database for Your Website
- Log in to your Account Manager.
- Click Web Hosting.
- Next to the hosting account you want to use, click Launch.
- In the Databases section of the Hosting Control Panel, click the icon corresponding to the database you want to create.
- Click Add.
- Complete the fields. To allow direct access, click Additional Options.
NOTE: If you need to Allow Direct Database Access, but do not see the field, contact customer support. Direct Database Access is only available on paid hosting plans. If you are not sure what Direct Database Access is, see Why connect remotely to hosting databases?
- Verify the settings and click OK.
It takes up to 1 hour to create a database.
Once the database is created, you can click Actions, and then Details to find more information, such as its host name.
