Database name and host name

Installing a script or application that needs to connect to MySQL? Find out the information you'll need to use with Turbify web hosting.

Article ID: SLN20605

Database name

It's best to create a separate database for every script or third-party application you use. That way, if one database becomes corrupt, it doesn't affect multiple scripts or applications.

Learn how to create a database.

Host name

The cPanel database host name is localhost:3306.

Important: Custom PHP scripts that are coded with mysql as the host name (the database name in the previous Turbify Web Hosting Control Panel) will need to be updated to work with cPanel, the new Web Hosting control panel. You'll need to change the host name to localhost:3306, or your applications won't work.
