How do I get a MySQL account ?
If your web hosting package ( you can check it online )
comes with MySQL, then it's preinstalled and you can
start working on your database right way (read "How do I work on my MySQL database"),
otherwise it's an Add-on and you'll need to contact our tech support team to get one setup.
( Add-on fee specified at Add-ons service fees will be applied.)

How do I work on my MySQL database?
There are several ways you can work on your MySQL database:
1). Through a web-based interface by going to http://yourdomain.com/mysql-admin/
2). Through a shell account:
If you choose to use the default MySQL client, then on the command line type the following:
mysql -p [database] (ie: mysql -p u1000_1)
At this point you'll be asked for a password and then provided with
the prompt from which you can issue SQL commands. Please referer to MySQL's website
for more information on how to use MySQL database
3). From a remote MySQL client of your choice (these can be download from www.mysql.com)
There are five pieces of information which you need to connect to the MySQL server remotely:
1. hostname
2. port
3. database
4. username
5. password
The way we set it up for you is as following: if your username is u1000 and domain name is yourdomain.com, then your settings will be:
1. hostname = yourdomain.com
2. port = 3306
3. database = u1000_# (# is the database extension, the default is 1. ie: u1000_1)
4. username = u1000
5. password = the password is the same as the one you use to login to your account
Note: by default, you can only access MySQL server from the server (localhost) and not remotely (your PC),
so you must contact us to enable remote access.
