What is my Hostname?

When using databases, you may be asked to provide your MySQL server's hostname.

If you are connecting to the database from your web hosting account (this is the most common case)

Use: localhost

If you are connecting to the database remotely

Use your full domain name, or the permanent address provided in your welcome (without the http:// or the www). The remote MySQL port is 3306.
