Under the Hosting & Email section, select Hosting Account List.
Next to the hosting account you want to modify, click Open.
Under the Databases section of the Hosting Manager, click the icon for the type of database you're interested in.
From your list of databases, click the Pencil icon next to the database you want more information about.
