What a database is used and how to create it
A database is essential for websites that constantly interact with information and store it on the server. Think of a database as a giant file that organizes and stores all the information on your website.
Why Do I Need a Database?
If you plan to have a blog on your website, each post, comment, and user is stored in the database. Similarly, an online store requires a database to efficiently manage products, inventory, and customer profiles.
IMPORTANT: If you want to have a CMS installed (WordPress, PrestaShop, etc.), your hosting plan must allow the creation of databases. You can check which hosting plan best suits your needs.
How to Create a Database
Step 1: Access Hosting Management
- Access the hosting management from the cdmon control panel.
Step 2: Go to the Databases Section
- In the "Databases" section, select the MySQL option.
Step 3: Create a New Database
- Just below the connection details, find the section "Create a new MySQL database". Enter the name you want to assign to the database and click the Create DB button.
Step 4: Assign Name and Encoding
- Enter the name of the database you are going to create and assign the required encoding. Unless it needs to be changed due to a specific programming requirement, we recommend leaving the encoding set to UTF-8.
With these simple steps, you will have manually created a database on your cdmon hosting.
