 * Okay… so when I was backing up my database I managed to back it up, but also 
   delete it from my websites server. Now it’s on my harddrive instead of my websites
   server. I really need help importing it back. It’s MySQL version 4 and the file
   on my harddrive is in .sql format.
 * I looked under my hosters help section and found some help, but the feature I
   need to use doesn’t come included with my hosting plan.
 * HELP!

 * your host doesn’t offer phpmyadmin for the mysql database?
    you really need that
   to import an .sql file if they don’t offer phpmyadmin, then you should insist
   they import it for you
