hint: it's usually easier to for the readers of this forum to figure
out what's wrong if you include the error message.

did you get this message?

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "\qq.py", line 19, in ?
    add = DataBase()
TypeError: __init__() takes exactly 5 arguments (1 given)

this means pretty much what it says: the __init__ method
(which is called automatically when you create the object)
expects five arguments, but only got one (the implied self
argument).

you can either modify the call to something like:

    # pass in None as default for all attributes; we'll
    # set them below anyway
    add = DataBase(None, None, None, None)

>     add.UserPlan = input("Username: ")
>     add.UserDomain = raw_input("Domain: ")
>     add.UserEmail = raw_input("Email: ")
>     add.UserName = raw_input("Name: ")

or read in the values before creating the object:

    plan = input("Username: ")
    domain = raw_input("Domain: ")
    email = raw_input("Email: ")
    name = raw_input("Name: ")
    add = DataBase(plan, domain, email, name)

or perhaps modify the class in some way.

hope this helps!
