   Hi, I'm a newbie at WordPress and english isn't my native english, but well, I'm going to try:

   I have an account of the type "myname.thedomain.com" and it's hosted in the domain of a friend and since I don't own that domain I don't have access to the admin options, Cpanel, PHPMyAdmin or similars. Are they necessary for creating a database? Or have the main admin to create a database for me? Exists another ways to create a database in my account, using FTP, for example?

   Thank you!

   Hi

   You can't create a database by FTP.

   You do need access to at least Cpanel to create a database. You can have the main admin create the database. Cpanel servers often have Fantastico installed which does a complete WordPress installion - database and program code, in less than 5 minutes. If someone can install that on your domain you can begin to administer your WordPress site.
