MySQL stands for Structured Query Language. It is the basic language of computers, and is very easy to learn. You should get the hang of MySQL once you read our three-part tutorial!

The first thing you need to do is access CPanelX, or any other control panel your domain has. Find the link that says MySQL Databases.

Once you click on that, you should get taken to a different page.

Find something like this on that page, and type in the name of the database where I typed in database. Press the Add DB button and wait until you get taken to a new page that says the database has been added.

Good job, you just made a database! However, a database is pretty much useless without a username, which is what we will make next. Go back to the MySQL page, and type in the username and passwords you want in the appropriate boxes.

Match the username you just made with the database.

Congratulations, you've just made your first database!
In the second part of this tutorial, I will show you how to log-into your database and make your first table!
