As a free host member, I am wondering if that means I cannot install wordpress on my site because wp requires access to a database to function properly. I Input all of the required information but wordpress fails to access the mysql database. Please advise.
MySql Database cannot be accessed remotely with free hosting accts

you CAN install WordPress in your x10hosting's free-hosting account (site)
what is the error you receive ?
did you make (add) a database to your account ?

ye I was providing the info for wordpress installation required for database access and received the following reply,"unable to access database, check to see if server host name is correct. I read through the forums that the local host name should be,
"localhost". That didn't work.

The first step before installing any script with the manual option is to create a database, as well as a user to go with that database. The password to use during install is the password you set for the database user you created.
What database name and user did you specify during the installation?
