How to connect to MySQL database

Configuration Settings:

Host = localhost (really, put localhost)
Database name = (cpanelusername_databasename)
Database username = (cpanelusername_databaseusername)
Database password = (******)

Note that the database user name cannot be changed to something without the cPanel user name in it.

It is possible for someone to use their cPanel username and password to connect to the database. However, we NEVER recommend doing this because the first time you change or reset your cPanel password, then your databases will stop working.
