title: Access denied for user 'abc1234'@'WIN-TQV06J8SPLP' (using password: YES)]
body: <p>I am a newbie in hosting a website. This is my first time to upload my project to a hosting site. But im facing an error that I coudnt find any useful solution from Google.</p>
  
  <p>The problem is as below:</p>
  
  <p>I can access other pages of my website, for example: mywebsite.com/login.aspx
  But when i access the page that needs to retrieve data from database, I got this.</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Authentication to host 'twinjoin.com' for user 'abc1234' using method
    'mysql_native_password' failed with message: Access denied for user
    'abc1234'@'WIN-TQV06J8SPLP' (using password: YES)]</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Is that possible a hosting company using localhost for the database (MySQL)?
  I thought it should be an IP address of the server?</p>
  
  <p>This is how it looks in the phpmyadmin - Database Server information</p>
  
  <pre><code>Server: 127.0.0.1 via TCP/IP
  Server type: MySQL
  Server version: 5.1.73-community - MySQL Community Server (GPL)
  Protocol version: 10
  User: abc1234@localhost
  Server charset: UTF-8 Unicode (utf8)
