Best method to get Hostname of domain is to use rDNS lookup.
it's very simple, open below website and put your domain
Check here: http://www.intodns.com/
and then find keyword Your reverse (PTR) record and your will see your hostname of reverse IP.
Example for facebook.com: 18.159.220.66.in-addr.arpa -> msgin-shv-08-frc3.facebook.com
or you can get by terminal command by #host xx.xx.xx.xx xx will be your server IP
It will show like this:
root#server [~]# host 66.220.158.68
68.158.220.66.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer edge-star-mini-shv-07-frc3.facebook.com.

Trying to connect to a mySQL db on Amazon AWS using mySQL Workbench

I just opened an account on Amazon AWS. In this account, I created a mysql database instance, that I am now trying to connect to on my home computer use mySQL Workbench. I have entered the database endpoint (as listed in my account) and added the user name I set up for the master username for the database. When I hit "test connection" (using standard TCP/IP connection) however, I get a "Failed to connect..." message. I have a feeling that the problem may be that I need to use SSL and/or SSH. But I am a neophyte here, and I don't know how to properly set this up or configure mySQL Workbench with this. I am seeking assistance
You need to allow your mysql server to the user my user policy.
You can allow your Public IP address.
Please refer below case:
Cannot ping AWS EC2 instance
I think there that my database instance was misconfigured somehow, though not as JERRY suggests. I created a new MySQL DB instance and was able to connect to that without needing any other special configuration changes. So I am now using the new instance, and have deleted the old one. I wish I could provide more insight into what the problem with the first DB was, but the insight I have is (as I said) after I created the 2nd DB instance, no other configuration was necessary

Outsystems: configuring a connection to access a MySQL database

I'm using Outsystems Service Studio to develop a web application. I need to configure a connection to access a local server database. I get "Connection String test failed: Unable to connect to any of the specified MySQL hosts." I just figured out I can't connect using "localhost", because the Outsystems server is not local, but I'm not able to find a solution. what is wrong? Other details:
MySQL Server is up and running
I selected MySQL in DBMS
Inserted my schema name
Inserted the username (with all privileges granted)
Inserted the user password
Tried both basic and advanced configuration. I inserted j"dbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/mydb?user=outsystems2" as connection string parameters and I get "Connection String test failed: Keyword not supported.Parameter name: mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/mydb?user". I know this connection string can't work , but I'm not able to find a functioning one. I've read many guides about this configuration, but no solution was found. Thank you all for your time and help, feel free to ask for more details
Luciano,
Is your OutSystems environment on-premises or in the cloud? Either way, you need to make sure that this server is able to reach - it as connectivity - to your MySQL database server. Using localhost or 127.0.0.1 is pretty much the same thing as this is an address for the machine where the request is running, which is, in this case, the OutSystems server. Do you have the MySQL database on your local machine? This is not a good approach as you will need to have an address that won't change otherwise the connection won't be stable and you'd have to reconfigure it all the time.

How to know where my MySQL database is being hosted and how can I access it?

I have the following information to a SQL database
Server : MyUserName.mysql.db
User : MyUserName
Password : MyPassWord
I am a little noob in this context, so I have some questions:
How to know where is hosted my database? Is it in mysql domain? (Isn't that the type of database?)
How can I access it and visualize it?
To begin with, you need a CLIENT to be able to access your database. For MySQL, you can use either Workbench or MySQL CLIENT (the last giving you command-line level access).
Second, and according to your information, the server is MyUserName.mysql.db so if you try to PING that server you should get some response.
Third, MySQL has a default port number so you need to configure your client to access that server though that port (if I'm not mistaking, 3306).
You will also need access credentials to your database.
Your DB administrator should be able to provide all the information you need.
Contact your database administrator.
If you're trying to acess/visualize sql server database on your local computer install ssms to connect to your local database , similarly you can access any other database through ssms.

Can't connect to database

Actually I'm having more than one problem...but all of it has to do with connecting or working with the MySQL database...First you can see one of the errors on my website and no matter what you choose it seems to just say it can't connect to the database...I've configured a configure.php file to allow files to connect to the MySQL database...see the website here:
http://netsurfer123.byethost11.com/index.php
Then when I try to log-in to the Admin area of my MySQL database it just says:
phpMyAdmin - Error
Cannot start session without errors, please check errors given in your PHP and/or webserver log file and configure your PHP installation properly.
Please let me know what I can do to correct these errors...and thanks very much in advanced for any helpful response/s.
First you need to check if the MySQL server is actually running. Use a command such as
/etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld status
Or similar for your system if possible.
Did you check the web server log file? Does it contain errors as indicated by phpMyAdmin?
Your site is simply unable to connect to the database to which it's trying to connect. This could be for any number of potential reasons:
Is the database running?
Is the database accessible by that machine? (Maybe there's a firewall in between the two servers, if they're separated?)
If the database is on that same machine, are you connecting to it properly? (Maybe it allows only certain connection methods, such as a socket vs. the loopback address?)
Is your connection string correct? Maybe the login is failing?
Check your PHP logs, your Apache logs, your MySQL logs. One of them is complaining about something and it's probably trying to tell you what.

how do I find the mysql server name in cpanel? I need it for sequel pro

I'm trying to setup my databases in Sequel Pro (a mysql app). Localhost won't do. Any idea how I can get server name?
You should be able to use the IP address or host name of your server.
Your MySQL server name is often te same as your website domain (e.g. example.com).
From http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/connection-access.html:
Your identity is based on two pieces of information:
The client host from which you connect
Your MySQL user name
So even if you've know your host, you have to allow remote connections with a specified user. Please see this guide for that. Your IP address could be entered as host.
Try your websites domain, also check to see if the mysql server allows remote connections.
