You will also need to make the corresponding database and user to connect to your Database.

Note : Using the Servers Actual Hostname instead of “localhost” results in it what we’d like to term as a “redundant loop”  causing data to be sent out to the internet instead of being processes and transmitted locally. Additional configuration will also be required to provide access to “Guest/Internet/Anonymous” Users. On top of this redundant loop and hassle of creating another User Account, using the Servers Actual Hostname will result in slower results than using “localhost”; not to mention it uses your bandwidth !

So take it from us, simply use “localhost” if you’re setting up a CMS/PHP Script manually.

MySQL databases allow you to store lots of information in an easy to access manner. The databases themselves are not easily read by humans. MySQL databases are required by many web applications including some bulletin boards, content management systems, and others. To use a database, you’ll need to create it. Only MySQL Users (different than mail or other users) that have privileges to access a database can read from or write to that database.

There are two ways to create a MySQL database The easiest way to create a MySQL database is to use the MySQL Database Wizard built directly into the cPanel interface.

The second way involves a few more steps, but does not require you to go through the wizard.
