From this area you can also manage your database by using phpMyAdmin, an easy to use web based interface for managing MySQL databases.

The username should contain letters, numbers, "_",and "-" and must not start nor end with "-". It should not contain the words "test", "root", "mysql", nor "alive" and must be 9 characters long or less. The password should be at least 6 characters long and may not be blank.

  1. Log into your hosting control panel (http://www.extendcp.com) with the login details sent to you
  2. Under the Web Tools section, click on MySQL Databases
  3. Enter Username & Password
