What server should I use in my code to connect to my database?
Do not use "localhost" as the hostname (or database server) for your database-driven websites. Once you have successfully created a database, your host name displays on the Database Information page of your Hosting Control Center.
Note: This process is for Shared Hosting ONLY.
To Find the Host Name for Your Database
- Log in to your Account Manager.
- Click Web Hosting.
- Next to the hosting account you want to use, click Launch.
- In the Databases section of the Hosting Control Center, click the icon for the type of database you're interested in.
- From your list of databases, click the Pencil icon next to the database you want more information about.
- The Database Information page displays. You will find the host name for your database on this page.
