i'm setting up a phpbb forum and i was just wondering if the database server hostname is localhost? <br /><br />edit: oh, and should i wait before you guys propagate my site before i start this?<br /><br />thanks<br />x<!--content-->
The hostname for your database is indeed "localhost". And you can start setting that up as soon as your account is ready. You just won't get any traffic on that account until the DNS changes propagate.<!--content-->
The correct host is "localhost"<br /><br />You may have problems before propogation.<br /><br />Moving for organization.<!--content-->
ok the reason i was wondering if i should do this after propagation is because after you upload all the files into your subdomain, you need to go to, (ex) forums.angrymob.org/install/install.php and i don't think i can do that until propagation is complete.<br /><br />am i wrong?<!--content-->

It can take up to 72 hours after you have pointed your domain name to the TCH namservers at your domain registar.<!--content-->
i haven't done that yet, i'm new when it comes to domains, i usually just create pages that are for programming practice, this is my first time buying a domain.<br /><br />could you point me to a tutorial that explains what i need to do after purchase a domain?<br /><br />appreciated.<!--content-->
You did not say who you purchased your domain name through,<br />so look here <a href="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=3913" target="_blank">dns tutorials</a> and see if your domain registar is listed, <br />if not try one as it is about the same for all of them.<!--content-->
