Using DreamHost to create a database and a database user

1. I will also demonstrate creaNng a database and a database user on a hosNng service that does not use cPanel. This demonstraNon is done on http://www.dreamhost. com/. This is not an endorsement of their hosNng service. I chose them for this demonstraNon because their process is different from most, and thus offers a different perspecNve on this task. You will see that even though the keystrokes and clicks are very different, the basic principles are the same.

2. On the previous hosNng service, the MySQL host name was assigned by the hosNng service. On DreamHost, I create a MySQL host name. See the field New Hostname in the following screenshot:

3. In this case, I called the MySQL host mysql. I must create the MySQL host on a domain that I own, and so I used brew-me-a-cup.com. The result is that when I
enter the database host name into Magento, I will enter mysql.brew-me-a-cup.com.

4. I also specify the database name, user, and password in this screen. That part is the same as the previous hosNng service.

5. Here is the confirmaNon message for creaNng this database:
