You need to explain yourself a little more clearly but here goes -

Database type - MySQL, Postgre, Oracle etc (the db server software)
Database hostname - if local machine then 'localhost' else 'IP address' or 'your.domain.com'
Database name - name of db you want to connect to
Database username - username for connecting to db server
Database password - password for connecting to db server

Hope this helps 😉

Assuming that your hosting package comes with a db you should have the details with your account setup details. The host will definitely be 'localhost'
