The Database Wizard: How to Create MySQL Databases Securely
Champion Stack Team
·January 22, 2026
WordPress, Joomla, Magento—they all run on databases.While automated installers handle this for you, sometimes you need to get your hands dirty and create one manually.
Three Key Components
New users often get confused because a "Database" is not enough. You need three things linked together:
- Database: The empty box where data is stored.
- User: The "person" (script) allowed to open the box.
- Privileges: The permission slip connecting the User to the Database.
The Wizard Way
cPanel's "MySQL Database Wizard" walks you through all 3 steps seamlessly so you don't miss anything.
Step 1: Name the DB (e.g., wp_site)
Step 2: Create User (e.g., wp_admin)
Step 3: Tick "ALL PRIVILEGES"
Step 2: Create User (e.g., wp_admin)
Step 3: Tick "ALL PRIVILEGES"
