WHAT DO I DO!!!!
Host is the IP or hostname such as mysql.domain.com.
Clients like filezilla are for connecting and browsing your files, in that case, its generally;
Hostname:
ftp.yourdomain.com
username: same as your cPanel (in much cases)
password: same as your cPanel (in much cases).
And if you're asking about the details to connect to database which are stored inside inc/config.php then its:
hostname: localhost (in many cases)
username: same as your cPanel (mostly).
password: the password with which you login to PhpMyAdmin or if you did not changed it, it will be most probably same as your cPanel password.

Are you having domain and web-hosting accounts ? That is what you need to host your website in web.
In your web-hosting account you will find these details regarding ftp username and ftp password.(Port number may be optional)
If you want to have locally in your pc, you can directly install a webserver such as Wamp/Xamp and so you can work locally in your pc.
