In step 1 of Joomla installation I am asked to enter a Host name. During tests on local server
here "localhost" is entered. But what should I enter in this case where Joomla runs on our remote DedServer at Lunarpages?

Should I enter:

ourdomain.com
or
www.ourdomain.com
or
123.456.789.123    (=our IP)

It would be either of the first two, depending on which url you use.

I have same question - I think - but please confirm that you meant the url for my website.

In 1.5 Installation Manual, under MySQL Details, it asks for the following:

  - the host name for your database
  - the username and password of the database root user
  - the database name by which you are identifying the database for this website.


I can get the root username/password, and I see where Fantastico uses a pattern for naming the databases. 

I am just not sure about the host name (#1).

Thank you,
Bob

Hostname for database under Joomla (1.0.x certainly) and Lunarpages, is localhost.

If you check your Lunarpages cPanel, click the MySQL Database link, you should see something like:
Code:
mysql_connect ("localhost", "<USER>_<DB>", "<PASSWORD HERE>")

Hostname is localhost
Username is <USER> is above example, Password is (normally) your lunarpages cPanel login password.
Database name is <USER>_<DB> combined as above.
