Hi guys!

I am trying to install Joomla.
What i have done:

went to MySQL, created a new database, username and assigned that username to the database
copied an installation package to public_html folder via FTP

now when i access my domain name (www.mydomainnameexample.com) i get the installation steps just fine.
I get to the point where i have to provide MySQL hostname, username, password and database
i fill all the information with my hostname (www.mydomainnameexample.com), MySQL database name , username and password
after proceeding it tells me

"Unable to connect to the database:Could not connect to MySQL"

I am pretty darn sure i have the right information
i've setup Joomla using this method on other hosting providers with no probs.

What am i  doing wrong:)

Many thanks!

Update:

Solved it myself by putting "localhost" as host.
