 * hello i used to have my site hosted with mochahost before i got my VPS i transferred
   everything fine(nothing changed,same domain name and everything) but i cant get
   the images to show,they are in my media gallery just wont post. i didnt know 
   it if was because mochahost didnt use localhost as host name(forgot what their
   name was),i was just wondering how i can find what they used and replace it with
   localhost?

 * I’m not sure what you’re really asking here. But if you switched host, it would
   be a different host name – NOTE: Not all host names are localhost. Call, open
   a support ticket, or even look for yourself in your hosting dashboard, and maybe
   under (MySQL Databases, or PHPMYadmin), they probably have a different host name.
 * e.x;
 * 000webhost (free hosting provider) – There hostnames are usually mysql1.000webhost.
   com thru mysql16.000webhost.com
    HostGator (paid hosting provider) – There hostnames
   are localhost all the time,
 * again, have a look, or open a support ticket to see what your host name is, if
   this isn’t the problem, then again – support ticket, ask them what is wrong with
   the images that aren’t posting / showing up. It could be a problem on there end.
