Step 3: Type in a name for your new database and click "Add Db" |

Step 4: The new database is set up, usually with a prefix. |
|
| Step 5: Create a new user and password | |
| Step 6: Add the user you just created to your new database. A prefix is also added to the user name. In this instance, the username was truncated because of this addition, becoming "stpaul_newDBuse" instead of "newDBuser." Capitalization is important. Give the user you are adding "ALL" privileges. When you are done, click "Add User to Db" | |
| Step 7. Write down the name of the new database name, username, and password. Store it in a safe location. If a hacker were to get this information, it could mean very bad things, so keep this information safe and off-line! | |
