First Steps > Create a database

A second additional option when creating a new host is the “Create a database” checkbox. This will add a database associated with your new host. Choose “root” as the database user. A new databse will be created for the “root” MySQL user. This database will be associated with your host which can be confirmed on the Settings > Hosts > Databases tab.
