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

Question: 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.


Answer: You should be able to find you database by going to the control panel of you web hosting service. To connect to the database, it really depends on what kind of server your are using. If you are using the common Linux hosting on cPanel, then your database host are usually on the same server as your other services. You will be able to find many resources about it including on the user manual from your web host.

From your business hosting query, we highly recommend you move to a web host that is more user friendly. If you are looking for a business hosting or even the best domain host, your best option is to go with Hostgator. Well, they are not totally free – you have to pay $0.01 (by entering the coupon code below at checkout). This coupon code is usable for any shared hosting and even the $24.95 Aluminum reseller hosting. We suggest you do not waste your time with any other unreliable business hosting.




If you are not only looking for a business hosting, but also a good cheap hosting, we suggest you try MyHosting. It is hard to find any negative MyHosting review so we believe they are the best because they give unlimited bandwidth, unlimited storage, unlimited addon domains, Site builder and much more for such a low monthly price. You can get MyHosting for only $4.84/month.
