Re: I Need SeRiOuS hElP!!
That means you need a SQL database.. if you don't know what that is, Google it. x10Advanced and x10Corporate plans come with databases.
Also, for future reference: PLEASE don't post the topic title in letters like that, it's very distracting and turns off people from helping you. - I've changed it.
Second, when you are asking for help, try and describe the problem a little clearer; this will help us all.
Thanks.

Re: I Need SeRiOuS hElP!!
When installing e107 for the first time, you need to have a MySQL database. You can read more about the MySQL database at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MySQL . But basically e107 uses a database to store content information. You can create a MySQL database in cPanel quite easily. The documentation is located at http://www.cpanel.net/docs/cpanel/ , but I'll give you some general guidelines.
In order to create a database, you go into cPanel and click the MySQL Databases with the little icon with an underwater creature above the text. Then you type a database name, which can pretty much be anything. Then you click Add Db.
You must also create a user in order to access the database. You go to the same MySQL Database menu and find a text field with a username and password entry. Obviously fill those out and click Add User. After you create the user, you must grant access to the database for that specific user. There should be several drop down menus. For one of the dropdowns, select the database name. For the other select the user name that you created. Then select the privilege's. Generally "all" or some setting like that will suffice. Then click Add User to Db.
So when you install, just insert the database name as the name you created. I believe with x10Hosting, all databases are created with a prefix of your login name. So if you named your database "data" and your cPanel login name is Anubis3d, then your database might be "Anubis3d_data". Then fill out the username and password of the database that you created in cPanel. And for the location or server or whatever it says, put in localhost. I believe it is default anyway.
If you are confused or have any questions, feel free to ask.
Good luck,
Chris
