How To Create a Database and Add a User to a MySQL Database

When you install an app for your site such as WordPress blog, one of the first steps is often create a database, create a user and add the user to the database.
cPanel makes this fast and painless. Follow the link to the MySQL Databases section and you get to the MySQL Account Maintenance page.

You will have to get used to the mostly intuitive user interface. I say “mostly” because the UI appears to be designed by programmers and actions are not necessarily grouped where you expect them. Overall, cPanel makes it easy-peasy. You never have to type MySQL commands and get the syntax just right.
