Hard to believe this is still a problem and no updates from Cloudways.

Any progress? Would be great for some load balancing

Please, please add this feature.

It is now 2022, any update on this?

Please add this feature

One of the dumbest things I've ever seen for a webhost. And people have been complaining for 7 years straight, and still no fix in sight

This is also a deal-breaker for me. Creating a new application for just a DB is absurd in 2020.

Yes, please address this more adequately. Even shared Bluehost plans have built-in phpmyadmin with full management ability for every DB on the account and ability to create new DB's.

Creating a whole new application for a mere DB is a pretty low-quality solution. It makes a slow workflow and it clutters the application list. Without more ability to tag and search applications, this is a fairly low-quality user experience.

The only thing I can think of is creating a DO or Vultr droplet/server directly on their service (so it's cheap) and setting up phpmyadmin there with root access. I may have to do that for adding extra DB's but that doesn't help me to have a central place to manage all of my DB's.

Also, setting up SQL Workbench is a fairly complicated solution for DB management--especially given how generally user-friendly the rest of Cloudways' service is.

I was nearly ready to start migrating my sites to Cloudways from Webfaction but I think this shortcoming might be a dealbreaker.

Almost seems possible, the function is there, but 'access denied'.

This is really sad

This is causing us major issues and the workaround provided is *not* sufficient. We need to have a solution that easily allows you to create a new DB in the same instance. It is crazy that you have to create an entire new application just to add a new DB.

This would be particularly useful for a staging version of a website at a subdomain. The tool I use to sync site versions (Wordmove) currently does not allow for differing table prefixes.

This is absurd. It is 2017 - what a joke.

So basically for every new database I have to create another application
which is not ideal in real world scenerio
as I will have to maintain so many apps
please let me know if you have plans to improve this
as this is really a huge drawback

It would be awesome to have it!

Yes getting the denied access and no privileges sucks. Please implement this feature.

Yeah, lets get this sorted please.

According to Support they team are working hard to implement a solution to this .. since this was raised as an issue in 2014 first and it is now 2017 I'm not holding my breath.

Very disappointing.

Can the Cloudways team provide an explanation for this limitation? (apart from the perhaps obvious reason to want users to create multiple instances just for the database and therefore increase costs)
