How would you find the hostname for database access with yahoo Small Business Domain hosting?

Brian G asked:


I cannot find the database location for the website I am trying to put up. Whenever I try to do the mysqli_connect.php, it does not find the host. Is it www.thewebsite.com/phpMyAdmin or ftp.thewebsite.com or is it something different? If someone could direct me to where I could find the information on the database location using yahoo, then I would really appreciate it.

99% of the time the hostname is ‘localhost’ without the apostrophe’s.

For example:

Hostname: localhost
DB Name: user_dbname
DB User: user_dbuser
Password: yourpassword

Hope this helps.
