You can create a new MySQL (database) directly from the Loopia Customer Zone (kundzon, account dashboard) without using any external tools. This guide explains the database quotas included in each hosting package and walks you through the steps to add a new database to your Loopia hosting account.
How many databases are included?
Our Home package includes 25 MariaDB databases and the Business package includes 50. If you need even more, we also offer Business Plus with 100 MariaDB databases.
Our MariaDB service runs on dedicated, high-performance database servers. Many web hosting providers run MySQL on the same servers as their web hosting, which can reduce performance and place extra load on the server environment.
Create a new MySQL database
In your Loopia Customer Zone you can easily add a MySQL database in five steps:
- Log in to Loopia Customer Zone.
- In the Add/create menu, select Databases.
- Select New MySQL database.
- Select which domain name to use as the database name. (All of your domains can still use the database regardless of the name you choose.)
- Click Add to create the database.
Next step: add a database user
Once the database has been created, you can add a database user in order to connect to and use the database.
