Hosting: "localhost" or "what_host"?

[UlumZyuBahrulBoncu]

1. How do I know if the hosting server use LOCALHOST or its' name itself?<br />
2. Are there any differences between them if the server serves different technology? (ex one uses MySQL, and other uses ASP)<br />

1. You read the documentation for the server

2. MySQL is a database. ASP is a programming language framework. They do completely different things. (And are often used in combination with each other).
