i set everything in my account

in host should i put local host or ip or url of the host
i left localhost and then it says error selecting database

what is wrong

'localhost' is fine.
ensure that your database user name and password, and also your database name are accurate. test those settings by logging into your database otherwise, e.g., using phpmyadmin.
