Database you want to install into

b2evolution stores blog posts, comments, user permissions, etc. in a MySQL database. You must create this database prior to installing b2evolution and provide the access parameters to this database below. If you are not familiar with this, you can ask your hosting provider to create the database for you.

Try to create this DB if it doesn't exist yet (useful for developers)

MySQL Host/Server:

Typically looks like "localhost" or "sql-6" or "sql-8.yourhost.net"...
