      Your database host is whatever machine your database is on. Usually it is "localhost". However, I have one client whose database is on a different server, so I have to use that machine name instead. Something like "mysql1.server.com", similar to setting the POP and SMTP servers in your mail client.

      If "localhost" doesn’t work, that means you need to talk to your hosting company’s tech support. You should have gotten this information when you first signed up for the hosting.
