What do I need to connect to a database ?
In order to connect to a database you will need:
database name
database user
database pass
database host
database port

This information is available in the MySQL Databases section of the control panel. Please note that the database name = database user , i.e. whenever you add a MySQL database a MySQL user is created with the same name and this user is automatically added to the database.

The database host is the name of the server on which your hosting account is located.
The database pass is defined by you while you add a MySQL database.
The database port is 3306.

How to access my database online?
The mailbox is the physical location of your emails, just like the ordinary mail box. If you wonder how it looks, go to the File manager, click on the Top Level button and then click on the Mail folder. In that folder you will see the physical location of each of your mailboxes represented by a folder with the same name as the mailbox itself.

The e-mail account is the name-tag for that mailbox. Whenever you create mailbox an e-mail account with the same name is created. You can also have multiple e-mail accounts (called e-mail aliases) that share the same mailbox. The e-mail account is an unique name that identifies a mailbox where e-mails can be delivered.
