Read How to create MySQL Database and User

 

[Dead-i]

The host name is 'localhost', and the database name and database username is prefixed with your cPanel username and then an underscore. For example, deadi_user. The password is the password you set when you created your MySQL user.

well thank you guys, and oh i have those but how about the database user? you know if it was in your own server it would be root.. what should i put in there?

 

[Dead-i]

In the MySQL Database Wizard, on Step 2, it asks you to provide a MySQL Username and Password. Your username would be your cPanel name, underscore, and then your MySQL username (not 'root'). Your password would be the password you entered in Step 2.

Here is an example username, where my cPanel username is 'Deadi' and my MySQL username is 'user':
deadi_user

While not recommended for security reasons, if you know what you are doing you can use your cPanel username and password. You do not have to create a new user.

database name- you create it in cpanel
database user - you crate it in cpanel
database password - you create it and always can change it at c panel
database localhost - at x10HOSTING? THE FREE ACCOUNT the database is localhost

Very simple
