How To Create A Mysql Database:

Here is the step by step guide to creating a MySQL database using cPanel on a standard Linux server. It is simple. There are 5 steps. Here we go.

1. Open your cPanel at your website's hosting company's server. If you
     have never logged in, then you may need to get the URL address,
     username and password from your hosting company. Also keep in mind
     that your cPanel interface may look different than the below. We have
     used the most common appearance. Then click on the MySQL link.

2. Then create your database named: bwfcontacts

3. Enter any username you wish. Then create a password that is unique.
     (Write your password down because you will not see it again.)
 

4. Once you have created the user for your database, then add the user to the
     database you created. Make sure ALL privileges is checked.

5. You are now done creating your database. Make note of the information you
     receive, such as in the below example. Paste the text into something that you
     can copy from later, like NotePad.

Note: In the above example, our pretend website is called yoursite.com
The database name is: yoursite_bwfcontacts
The user is: yoursite_anyname
The password we used was: yourpassword

Also Note that yourpassword does not have yoursite_ before it.

 
Advanced steps A-B-C:

A. Further steps you might wish to take some day is to export your data into a
     spreadsheet, word document, or email list.
 
     To begin, you would then click on the phpMyAdmin link in your cPanel.

B. Then go to where you can export your data.

C. Then just choose your export format.

That is it.

Have fun with your database!
