Create a mySQL database with GoDaddy hosting

This describes creating a database with GoDaddy hosting

First, start by logging into your GoDaddy account:

Click on my hosting account (dropdown under “hosting”)

Click on “manage account” under the correct hosting account domain

Once you’re in the “hosting control center” click on “mysql” from the “databases” dropdown menu

Click the “create database” button

Choose MySQL version 4 or 5, and then enter a description (can be anything), database/user name (must be very unique, or you’ll have to try again), and password (must use at least one capital letter and a number)

(NOTE: you may have to wait 5-10 minutes while the database is setup )

Click the little pencil icon to edit/view database details

Write down or copy the “Host Name:” this will go in the wp-config.php file in place of “localhost”

In your web browser, go to the installation script install.php and fill in the details:
