Creating a new database on my VPS in Plesk
Do you need a database for your website or application? This guide will show you step-by-step instructions on how to create one in Plesk.
- Step 1 - Access your Plesk Control Panel
- Step 2 - Click Databases
- Step 3 - Enter your database information
- Step 4 - Database created
Note: If you created a website using the WordPress option in Plesk, a database has already been set up for you, and this step is not necessary.
Step 1 - Access your Plesk Control Panel
Via your one.com Control Panel, click on VPS in the top menu located at the center. Click the Cloud Server you want to manage.
From the VPS panel, you click on the Plesk button below Shortcuts.
Step 2 - Click Databases
Once in the Plesk Control Panel, locate the Databases section in the menu on the left, then click the blue Add Database button.
Step 3 - Enter your database information
Fill out the required fields, which is:
Database name
Database user name
Password
Confirm password
Other customization options are also available, but they are not required to create the database.
Step 4 - Database created
Once your new database is created, you can access phpMyAdmin, import or export data, check connection details, and more! If it wasn’t assigned to a site during setup, you can also do so now.
