If your website incorporates custom data processing applications or is designed to generate web pages dynamically, you will probably need a database for storing and retrieving data. Watch our video to see how to create a database and database user in Plesk.

You can do the following with the Plesk database management tool:

• Manually create a database for your site.
• Manage database user accounts and set up access rules.
• Make a database copy.
• Export and import database dumps.
• Move a database to another subscription or webspace.
• Link a database to one of websites on your subscription.
• Manage data with external database management tools, such as phpMyAdmin.
• These operations are available in Websites & Domains tab > Databases.
