How To Create a MySQL Database with DirectAdmin

Now simply click the Create button and you’re done! This was easy wasn’t it?

If you want to manage your database content, DirectAdmin provides you with phpMyAdmin. This is usually located at http://www.yourwebsite.com/phpMyAdmin or you can also find the link to phpMyAdmin on the MySQL Management page in DirectAdmin.
