Hostinger

1. Log in to hPanel and go to Websites → Dashboard for the site you're setting up.
2. In the sidebar, search for "Management" and open the Databases section.
3. Under "Create a New MySQL Database And Database User," enter a database name, a username, and a password. Hostinger automatically prefixes both the database and username with your account ID (e.g. u123456789_) — that part can't be changed.
4. Your password needs at least one number, one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, and 8+ characters.
5. Click Create. The new database is automatically linked to your site and will appear in the "List of Current MySQL Databases And Users" below.
6. Write down the full database name, username, and password exactly as shown — you'll enter these into the installer in the next step. The database host is almost always localhost on Hostinger.

GoDaddy

1. Go to account.godaddy.com/products and find your Web Hosting plan.
2. Select Manage, then from the account dashboard click cPanel Admin.
3. On the cPanel home screen, find the Databases section and open the MySQL Database Wizard.
4. Follow the wizard: name your database, create a database user with a password, then assign that user to the database with All Privileges.
5. Database names must be unique on your account — if you see a "database already exists" error, just pick a different name.
6. Write down the full database name, username, and password shown at the end of the wizard — you'll enter these into the installer in the next step. The database host is almost always localhost on GoDaddy cPanel.

Next step

Once your database exists, head to the install guide to connect your template to it.
