Add one more MySQL database to a website for $1 a month, on plans with a fixed number of databases. Backed up before it is ever deleted.
Every website on our servers comes with its own MySQL database. Some plans include a fixed number of databases per website. When you need more than your plan includes, you can add an extra database to that website for $1 a month (US dollars; the checkout shows the price in your currency, plus any tax).
"2 databases" or "4 databases") can add extra databases, up to 10 extra per website.
databases") never need one: create as many as you like. On those plans the limit is the total database size of the website, shown on the plan.

store it.
The database name and its username start with your website's own database name, so you can tell them apart in phpMyAdmin.
Every extra database counts towards the website's database size limit, together with the website's own database. The usage meter on the website adds them up.
Press Delete beside the database. We back it up first and keep the backup for 30 days, then remove the database. If the backup cannot be made, nothing is deleted. Ask support within 30 days if you need it back.
Deleting a database does not stop what you pay for its slot.
On the same Databases page, each extra database you pay for is listed with its renewal date. Press Stop renewing beside it. It keeps working until the end of the month you paid for, and we do not charge for it again. Stopping one never deletes a database: if you then have more databases than your plan allows, they all keep working, but you cannot create a new one until you are back under the limit. Stopping an extra database needs the permission to manage payments on your account.
An unpaid extra database is not deleted. You cannot create a new database in its slot until the payment is made, and everything already there keeps working.
