How to build a database for Godaddy

First, start by logging into your GoDaddy account:

Next, click on Hosting from the left menu, right below My Products:

This will bring you to a page listing all your hosting accounts. Click on Manage Account next to the website you want to manage. This will open GoDaddy’s control panel in a new window. Select theDatabases tab at the top:

Next, click the MySQL icon. This will bring you to a page listing all your existing MySQL databases (if you have any). Click the Create Database button at the top.

Fill-in the fields making sure to provide a description of your database, a database name and a strong password. As for the database version, I recommend using 5.0 unless it is not compatible with the application you need to install. Hit OK when you’re done.

You will now be brought back to the MySQL Database page where you will see the newly created database with a Pending Setup status. Try reloading the page in 5 or 10 minutes as there’s a short delay before the database is being created.

Click the Edit button from the action column, next to your newly created database. This will bring you to a page where you can find all the necessary information you’ll need to configure your application such as the hostname and database name / username.
