How to manually create a Database for WordPress in cPanel
If you want to install WordPress on your host manually, it is not very difficult.
All you need is access to the administration panel (cPanel) on your host, the latest WordPress download, and an FTP program to upload.
In this video, I show how to create the MySQL database in cPanel.
I assume you can already access cPanel on your Web host. Usually your domain name followed by /cpanel will get you to it. You will need your user name and password.
There are three step to creating the database for WordPress.
- Creating the database
- Creating the user with a password
- Adding the user to the database
It is very important to write down the database name, user, and password.
You will need these later when you add them to the wp_config file before you upload the WordPress files to your server. Make sure you take note of them. You will find that cPanel will add a prefix to your database and user name.
Here is the video:

The next video will cover adding the information to the wp_config file.

Sure wish I would have checked with you with my recent technology issues. I have purposed myself to find an outsource for my woes
Awwww, man! NOW I find you!
How I wish I'd seen this BEFORE I pulled out my hair trying to get my Wordpress blog up.
LOL, well, live and learn. Great tutorial, thanks for this!
Making Sales - The way you worded that comment made me think is was spam - had to read it twice. Are you an English major by chance?
Mrs. Mecomber - I'll have a lot more tutorials like this.
please some one help me i need to know how to transfare my blog form my localhost to a web host …
Inflames - In WordPress, use the export function and export it to your desktop. Once WP is set up on the actual site, you can simply use the import function to transfer it. I have found that images do not transfer and make sure all the posts and pages have been exported and imported before you delete that localhost blog. Import and export are under the Manage tab.
I used to think this was somehow complicated - thank you so much for the informative tutorials.
I laugh at my ignorance, no really! I had Install4Free do it for me before but they got so overworked they don't offer the free service anymore… That prompted me to figure out how to do it; good thing I happened on your tuts.
Thanks again - I'll be linking to these tuts in my blog very soon!
It is now very easy to setup a site and database for Wordpress. If your web host offers Fantastico through your control panel it will create it all automatically. Just a few clicks and you are done.
