Creating a database

1 min read13.10.2026132 views

Most sites (WordPress, Laravel, etc.) need a MySQL database. Create one in the “Databases” section of your service.

How to create:

  1. Open the service → “Databases” → “Add”.
  2. Set a database name; a user and password are created with it.
  3. Save the credentials — you'll need them in your site config (e.g. wp-config.php or .env).

What to put in the site:

  • DB host — usually localhost.
  • Database name, user, password — from the created database.

Limits: the number of databases depends on your plan. Hit the limit? Delete an unused database or upgrade the plan.

Accessing data: manage tables via phpMyAdmin (link in the panel). You can reset the database password if lost. Deleting a database is irreversible — take a dump (backup) first if the data matters.
