Find Your Database Hostname

If your website uses a database to store content (e.g. WordPress, Drupal), you will need your database hostname to connect your Website to your database.

To find your database hostname, check your hosting account type, and choose the correct option from the table below.

Hosting Type	Database hostname
cPanel	Use localhost
Plesk	Find each database's hostname
Web & Classic	Find each database's hostname

Next Steps

Now that you have your database hostname you can get your database name, username, and password by viewing your database details (cPanel / Plesk / Web & Classic).
Once you have all your database details, you can update your connection strings to connect your website to your database.
