From Localhost to ISP

Hey,

I’m pretty new to WordPress…I totally love it!

I’ve been running wordpress under localhost for testing purposes having set up a database on my computer using PHPMyAdmin.

I now would like to move it across to my hosting account under my web address. I’ve FTPed the whole wordpress folder but none of the wordpress stuff is working…it comes up with a database error?

Would someone mind explaining to me the best way to move from my own server to my host provider instead.

Any help woould be ace.
Thanks
