# How to Create a MySQL Database in cPanel

You can easily create a MySQL database thanks to the MySQL Database Wizard included in cPanel which walks you through each of these steps. Just follow these steps to create the database:

**1)** [Log into cPanel](https://chemicloud.com/kb/article/login-cpanel-whm-account/).

**2)** Look for the “**DATABASES**” section and click on **“MySQL® Database Wizard “**.

**3)** In the next window enter the name of your database and hit **“Next Step”**.

**4)** Here you’ll need to choose the username and enter the password you want to be associated with the user in both fields. You can also click the **“Password Generator”** and cPanel generates a random, strong password for your username.

**5)** On the next page, you’ll assign privileges for the user to the database. If you want to assign full privileges for the user just check the box next to “**All Privileges”** and then click Next Step.

**6)** You’ll see a confirmation message that the database and username have been created.
