Some newer hosting accounts use an administration interface directly within the hosting.com Hosting Panel. Unlike cPanel or Plesk, there is no separate login -- you just log in to your hosting.com account at https://my.hosting.com and control your web site, email, and WordPress from one unified interface.

This article provides an overview on how to use this administration interface to manage your MySQL databases and users. It applies to the following account types:

  • Starter Web Hosting
  • Plus Web Hosting
  • Pro Web Hosting
  • Max Web Hosting
