How do I create a MySQL database?

Category: Databases | Updated: 6 October 2025
Summary: Create MySQL databases in seconds from the Amicatek control panel. WordPress hosting packages cannot create additional databases — move to a Linux package if you need this functionality.

Steps to create a new MySQL database

  1. Log in to https://cp.amicatek.link and select Manage Hosting.
  2. Click Manage next to the hosting package where you want to create the database.
  3. Under Web Tools, open MySQL Databases.
  4. In Add a new MySQL Database, choose a database name (6–20 characters). A suffix is added automatically to avoid collisions.
  5. Click Create Database. The new database will appear under Manage MySQL Databases.

What you can do after creating the database

  • Change the automatically generated password.
  • Monitor usage (each DB has a 1024 MB limit).
  • Remove the database if no longer needed.
  • Log in to the database via phpMyAdmin.

Platform limitations

On WordPress hosting packages you cannot create additional MySQL databases. To create multiple databases for a single website you must use a Linux hosting package.

Troubleshooting

  • If Create Database fails, make sure the name meets the 6–20 character rule and retry.
  • If you cannot see MySQL Databases, ensure you selected the correct package and have the required permissions.
  • If you need more databases but are on a WordPress package, contact support to discuss migration to a Linux package.
