2. In the MySQL database administration screen, you will see several areas:
   * **Create database**: where you can create your database. Databases will use the hosting account username as a prefix.
   * **Modify databases**: where you can review and repair any potential errors in your databases.

* **Current databases**: where you can view and manage the created databases. You can see the space they occupy, modify user privileges, rename, or delete them.
* **MySQL users**: where you can create users that will connect to the databases.
