I just payed my 30 dollars for mySQL database,
i am using a website that asks me for the "Database Hostname Address"

What would this be?

For your database host... use "localhost" or you can also use "xxxx.powweb.com" where xxx = your servername. (like venus.powweb.com, or saturn.powweb.com)

localhost usually is the best to use... that way if you change servers or hosts later, it will automatically be updated. But if it gives you trouble, you can tell it to look for a specific server (like venus.powweb.com)

Good luck!
