Creating a MySQL database is essential for installing WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, or running custom web applications that require structured data storage.
Follow these steps to set up a MySQL database using your hosting control panel:
- Log in to your Client Area at https://connect.o3host.pk/login.php.
- Navigate to Services > My Services and click the Login to Control Panel button next to your hosting package.
- Inside the control panel (stackcp.com), go to the Web Tools section and click on MySQL Databases.
- Click Create New Database.
- Enter a Database Name of your choice.
- Click Create to finalize the database setup.
Once created, you’ll be provided with the following details:
- Database Hostname (e.g., shareddb#.hosting.stackcp.net)
- Database Name
- Database Username
- Database Password
You can either use the automatically generated password or set your own. If needed, you can also create additional users and assign them to specific databases from the same interface.
Note: If you're installing WordPress, Joomla, or other supported apps using the 1-Click Installer available in your control panel, you do not need to manually create a database — it's handled automatically during installation.
Tip: To import an existing SQL backup, use phpMyAdmin from your control panel. You can easily upload
.sql files for restoration.
