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:
- Open the service → “Databases” → “Add”.
- Set a database name; a user and password are created with it.
- 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.
