jasonabc Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Your web hosting account should have come with a predefined number of MySQL databases. You can access this from the control panel that came with your account. In vDeck it's a big icon called "Databases", in cPanel it's a MySQL logo. Click that and create a new database from there. If you don't have a web hosting account then you need to get one - you need to place your site on a webserver in order for people to see it.
