Log in to the Hosting Administration.

Then open Websites & Domains > Databases. Databases can be created and removed there.

You can create a database by specifying its name. If you have the appropriate permissions with your subscription, you can select a database type and the database server on which the database is to be created.

In the Associated website field, you can select which website the database is used for. This is particularly useful if you have many websites and databases, because you can see directly on the Databases page which database is used by which website.

Database user

A database must have at least one user account assigned to it. Otherwise the database cannot be accessed. You can create a database user while creating a database. To do this, you must select the Create a database user check box. Alternatively, you can select a user later, for example if you want to use one of the existing user accounts.

To use the database user to access your databases, you must select the option The user has access to all databases within the selected subscription.

If you have the appropriate permissions, you can set the access control rules for a database user yourself.

Removing a database

To remove a database, click the Remove Database link below the database. You can find the page about Websites & Domains > Databases. Please note that you can only remove databases and database users that are not used by the installed APS apps. If the link is not available, it means that the database is used by an application and can only be removed by removing the corresponding application.
