How to Create or Delete a MySQL Database in cPanel

Managing MySQL databases is an essential part of running a website or application.

With your Thamara Cloud hosting account, you can easily create or delete MySQL databases and users directly from your cPanel dashboard.

How to Create a MySQL Database

1. Log in to your cPanel

You can access cPanel in two ways:

• • Option 1: Directly via your domain link (e.g. yourdomain.com/cpanel)
  • Option 2: Through your Thamara Cloud Client Area
  • • Go to dashboard.thamara.cloud
    • Select Hosting from the left menu
    • Choose your hosting service and click Manage
    • Under Quick Links, click cPanel Login

Go to the “Databases” section, then click on MySQL Databases

• Create your new database:
• • In the New Database field, type a name for your database.
  • Click Create Database.
  • Once created, click Go Back to return to the main MySQL Databases page.
  • Your new database will now appear under Current Databases

How to Delete a MySQL Database

1. In cPanel, go to MySQL Databases again.
2. Under Current Databases, locate the database you want to remove.
3. In the Actions column, click Delete next to the database name.
4. Confirm that you want to permanently remove the database.

Important:
Deleting a database cannot be undone. Always ensure you have a full backup before deleting any database.Thamara Cloud Tip:
You can also manage your database content directly from phpMyAdmin, available in the same cPanel “Databases” section.
