Most websites, such as WordPress, shops and forums, store their content in a MySQL database. (WordPress installed with our one-click installer creates its database automatically.)
Before you start: log in to your FariHost Client Area, go to Services → My Services, choose your hosting plan and click Login to Control Panel.
Create a database
- Open the Databases section and choose MySQL Databases.
- Enter a database name, a username and a strong password, then click Create.
- Copy the database name, username, password and host name shown on screen. Your website's settings file needs all four.
Open phpMyAdmin
In the same section, click phpMyAdmin next to your database. From there you can browse tables, run SQL queries and Import or Export a .sql backup file.
Tip
Use a different database for each website, and never share your database password in emails or screenshots.
