requinix Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Or put another way, no. Shared hosting needs those prefixes so that other people using the same servers won't have their database names conflict. But it's just a database name. It doesn't matter. Let it be "ccuk_hello-world" (or better, don't use a hyphen in an identifier and call it "ccuk_hello_world") and move on. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/312023-stuck-on-naming-database/#findComment-1583874 Share on other sites More sharing options...
