Step 1: Accessing cPanel

The first step is to log in to your Hostinger account and access the cPanel dashboard. Once you’re logged in, scroll down to the ‘Hosting’ section and click on ‘Manage’ next to your shared hosting plan.

On the next page, you will find the ‘cPanel’ button. Click on it to access the cPanel dashboard.

Step 2: Locating the MongoDB Installer

Once your database is created, you can manage it using the ‘Manage’ button in the MongoDB Installer. From here, you can view details about your database, create collections, add users, and perform other administrative tasks.

Step 5: Connecting to Your MongoDB Database

To connect to your MongoDB database, you will need to use a MongoDB client. There are several options available, including MongoDB Compass, Studio 3T, and the MongoDB shell.

Each client has its own way of connecting to the database, but generally, you will need to provide the connection details such as the hostname, port number, database name, username, and password.
