Hi
What Should I put down for the host name for the database? I have seen other hosting using mysql.domain-name.com for the host, is there difference If I put down localhost ? Thank you |

you would use localhost because your mysql databases are hosted on the same server as your website.
I have seen other hosting companies have separate servers for mysql, and in those cases you would have to specify a host name or IP.
