Creating Databases

 
reseller guidewebsite databaseswebsite managementappsdatabase

Watch the video tutorial

You can create and remove databases in Websites & Domains >
Databases.

You can create a database by specifying its name. If your subscription
grants you the corresponding permission, you can choose a database type
and the database server on which the database should be created.

You can select a website on which the database will be used in the
Related site box. This is convenient if you have a lot of sites and
databases, because you will see which database is used by which site
right on the Databases page.

Database Users

A database must have at least one user account associated with it.
Otherwise, it will be impossible to access the database. You can create
a database user while creating a database by selecting the Create a
database user
checkbox. Alternatively, you can select a user later,
for example, if you want to use one of the existing user accounts. For
more information, see Database User Accounts.

To use the database user for accessing any of your databases, select
User has access to all databases within the selected subscription.

If you have corresponding permissions, you can set access control rules
for a database user. Learn more in Setting Up Custom Access
Rules
.

How to Remove a Database

To remove a database, click the link Remove Database under this
database in Websites & Domains > Databases. Note that you can
remove only the databases and database users that are not used by
installed APS apps. If the link is not available, it means that this
database is used by an application and you can remove it only by
removing the respective application.
