Changing temporary host name

[jenbubby]

I am reading something about changing the temporary host name to the preferred host name. I was at the mySQL page but am unsure how to go about changing the host name. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks

Hello,

For domains using the FutureQuest name servers it is best to use the mysql.domain.com (where domain.com is replaced with your actual domain) host name as in this way if we have to move your MySQL databases to another server it is a seamless process.

The Host name would be changed in any PHP application you are using that calls MySQL data, usually in a config file.

If you are managing your own DNS then using MySQLXX.FutureQuest.net or the IP address for your MySQL server is generally how folks handle that, alternatively you can create a mysql.domain.com subdomain with your DNS provider and point the A record to the IP address for your MySQL server.
