Hey mmwashin,
Welcome to the forums!
I'm afraid that's something you'll need to run by your hosting provider. A lot of hosts let you refer to the MySQL host via "localhost", but others don't. For instance, I'm on Dreamhost - they don't allow "localhost" references. Your hosting provider will know how to refer to it - run it by them!
All the best -
Ben
