What is the server I should use in my code to connect to my database?

Do not use "localhost" as the hostname (or database server) for your database-driven Web sites. Once you have successfully created a database, your host name displays on the Database Information page of your Hosting Manager.

To Find the Host Name for Your Database

1. Log in to your Account Manager.
2. Under the Hosting & Email section, select Hosting Account List.
3. Next to the hosting account you want to modify, click Open.
4. Under the Databases section of the Hosting Manager, click the icon for the type of database you're interested in.
5. From your list of databases, click the Pencil icon next to the database you want more information about.
6. The Database Information page displays. You will find the host name for your database on this page.
