To create a MySQL database, the process depends on how you're accessing your server. Since you're using 4GoodHosting (which uses cPanel), here are the easiest ways to do it:

Method 1: Create a MySQL Database in cPanel (Recommended for 4GoodHosting)

Step-by-Step:

  1. Log in to cPanel
    URL usually looks like: https://yourdomain.com/cpanel

  2. Find the "MySQL® Databases" section
    Under the Databases heading.

  3. Create a New Database

    • In the "Create New Database" box, enter your database name.

    • Click Create Database.

  4. Create a Database User

    • Scroll down to MySQL Users > Add New User.

    • Enter username and password.

    • Click Create User.

  5. Assign User to Database

    • Under "Add User to Database", select the user and database you created.

    • Click Add.

    • On the next screen, check All Privileges, then click Make Changes.

 

If you’re using phpMyAdmin:

 

  • Go to phpMyAdmin from cPanel.

  • Click on the "New" link in the sidebar.

  • Enter a database name.

  • Click Create.
