No. On FariHost hosting, databases run on dedicated database servers, separate from the web servers. This makes websites faster and more reliable, but it means localhost won't work.
Find your database hostname
Open your control panel: log in to the FariHost Client Area, go to Services → My Services, choose your hosting plan and click Login to Control Panel.
- Open the MySQL Databases section.
- The hostname is listed with your database. It looks similar to
shareddb-x.hosting.stackcp.net. - Copy it exactly into your website's settings file, for example
DB_HOSTin WordPress's wp-config.php.
If you installed WordPress with our one-click installer, this is already set correctly.
