Hi there, new here so not sure if its th right place to post

i have a windows shared hosting with Go-daddy, created the database and all is fine, but not sure about the DB name.

the name of the Database Host? is it local host?
shall i add any suffix to the DB name?

thnx for your time

I am not sure what exactly your question is but if you're looking for the database location, as in the server name, it's either the localhost or the name of the server. It has become somewhat a standard for a host to put MySQL locally on the server and thus using localhost works most of the time. I don't agree with that method as a separate mysql server gives the user a distributed advantage. Thus the name of your database server could be just that, the name of the server that your mysql database resides on such as (mysql1.godaddy.com). Perhaps godaddy has some help documentation on this.

thnx. it seems they are not using localhost< and as you said they are using separate mysql server.

thnx for your help

No problem, Glad I can help.
