Every dynamic site needs a database. Here is how to create and connect one.
Create a database
Hosting → Databases → Create Database. The account prefix is added to the name automatically.
User and privileges
Create one user per project and grant access only to the database it needs.
Connection settings
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_NAME=user_appdb
DB_USER=user_appuser
DB_PASSWORD=********Export
mysqldump -u user_appuser -p user_appdb > backup.sql✅ For large databases use mysqldump rather than phpMyAdmin — it will not time out.
