Can I add a second mysql database to my hosting plan?

Answer by: Stuart Pierce, Aplus.Net Knowledge Base Support

MySQL Database support is included with the following Aplus.Net UNIX-based shared hosting plans:

• Personal Unix - 1 MySQL Database
• Business Class Unix – 3 MySQL Databases
• Pro Unix – 5 MySQL Databases
• eCommerce Unix – 10 MySQL Databases

Important: With Aplus.Net, you can have an FTP username of up to 16 characters. If your Main FTP Username contains more than 14 characters (For example: 15 or 16 characters long), all your MySQL Databases will share a single MySQL Username and Password. When creating additional databases, if you provide a new password (different from your current database password), the new password will be set as your MySQL Database password for all databases. These rules apply only to hosting plans with 15 or 16 characters long Main FTP Username.

Here is how to create an additional MySQL Database using the Aplus.Net Control Panel:

1. Start by logging into the Aplus.Net Control Panel at http://cp.aplus.net using your Registration Number and Customer Password.
2. Select Web Hosting from the top navigation bar.
3. Next, select Hosted Domains and click on Manage Hosted Domains.
4. Now, select the hosted domain that you’d like to manage.
5. Click the MySQL Database Manager icon.
6. Click the Create New Database button.

7. Enter the MySQL Database password for the new database and click Create.

8. You will be redirected to a confirmation screen which contains your new Database Name and Database Username.
