Connecting to database from pc (VB 2008 program)

[yearupie]

Dear Sir / Madam,

I have a connecting tool for a MySQL database on my PC.
Now i want to connect to a database on x10hosting but i don't know the hostname from the database.

I need this working before i can start programming and buy premium. Can u give me the right connecting data?

Yours faithfully
R. Pelzer

Howdy;
The hostname is localhost for connecting local scripts to local databases on the servers.
However, remote MySQL is disabled on free hosting accounts.
It is allowed on our premium hosting: http://x10premium.com
