    hostname: localhost
    username and password: Go to the MySQL Database Wizard in cPanel to make one

    And just as a note, you cannot connect to the databases here from a remote server. If you want to move content from a different host here, you'll probably want to use the export/import feature in phpMyAdmin

    I moved the DB already, but i cant move the content of that site to this one.
    I ether want to move that content here (From 000 Web Host free to here for free) or connect remotely. Note that i want to keep this free....

    Does the other host have cPanel/PHPMyAdmin? If so, you can just get a SQL dump of the contents of the database and use that.
    Nothing is always absolutely so.
