Question by SexyPantsMan: How would you find the hostname for database access with yahoo Small Business Domain hosting?
I cannot find the database location for the website I am trying to put up. Whenever I try to do the mysqli_connect.php, it does not find the host. Is it www.thewebsite.com/phpMyAdmin or ftp.thewebsite.com or is it something different? If someone could direct me to where I could find the information on the database location using yahoo, then I would really appreciate it.

Question by arniepie2003: How can I remove personal information for a website I no longer own from the Whois database?
Last year I purchased a domain address and my personal information (name, address and phone number) was stored on the Whois database, as I believe it is for alot of web domain registrations. My one year ownership of this web address has since expired however my personal information is still listed on the Whois database. How can I have this information removed?

Most registrars don’t immediately delete expired domains; they keep the domain alive for a while while they either wait for you to re-register it or see if someone else will come along and buy it (see afternic.com for details).

Given enough time, if your domain expires properly, so will your contact information.

That said, the damage has been done; your info is in many ways forever tied to this domain name, even if someone else registers it.

Or, if what you are saying is your contact information is being used by someone else who re-registered / renewed the registration, ICANN requires domain owners to provide legitimate contacts. Simply contact the registrar (and, if they don’t help, file an ICANN complaint) protesting that you are no longer an appropriate contact for the domain.

Question by That Guy: Will there be any issue with transferrig a PHP database site to another hosting company?
We are going to transfer a PHP based site from one hosting company to another. It’s currently running on a Linux/Apache server. If we copy all the files over to the new server, will there be any issues. If we name the database the same as on the previous server, do we have to do anything to get the site to recognize the database? Thanks

If the host doesnt support PHP, then you might not be able to get the PHP files to work. Some hosts do not support PHP or any CGI support. I had to learn the hard way with mine. I have used one company for years, and then researching later how to use PHP, and when I tried to implement it in mine, they told me it was not compatible. I use FatCow now because of the PHP and CGI scripting capabilities.
