   Ok I am brand new to wordpress.
   Just setting up the configuration in notepad.
   /
   /** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
   define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');

   Should I just leave it as is?
   Also should my database names use the whole name eg greg_databaseone
   or should it just be databaseone

   Thanks

   You will want to read through that second link slowly. The "Set Database Host" portion is what you are after. If you have any doubt, your hosting service should be able to provide you with the Database information you need. Database character set is also explained in that document. Don't worry, it's not nearly as bad as it looks at first. And the second time... well... It's a breeze!

   Don't be afraid to ask your host questions if you aren't sure about something. Don't take what is in the db host value tables in that documentation as gospel. Like it says,

   "Contact your tech support and/or search your hosting companies online Documentation to be sure."

   Best Wishes.

   Yes it does seem pretty daunting and stop start at first.

   Cheers
