MySQL is a popular database software that stores data in interrelated tables.
Modern content management systems, online stores, blogs, forums, galleries, and more use databases to store text content, images, and other materials.
You can create a new database in the self-service portal under the menu “Databases → MySQL”.
When installing website software, you typically need to know the following four things about the database:
- Server name where the database is located: for Beehosting.pro, this is localhost (without quotation marks).
- Database name: the name assigned by the system when creating the database in the self-service portal, e.g., vhost1234s0.
- Database username: at Beehosting, this is the same as the database name, e.g., vhost1234s0.
- Password that you set when creating the database in the self-service portal.
If you need to manually modify or manage the database, you can do so via the web-based interface phpMyAdmin.
Note: Making manual changes in databases requires technical knowledge, as mistakes may cause your website to stop working. Please consult an expert or our customer support before making changes.
