Hello,

Taking things nice and slowly to ensure everything is as secure as possible.

Now then, for the database username, what is a good example of a strong username, too keep intruders out, would it help by making this something complicated?

Same applies to the Database Name.

So any suggestions on how to make this more secure.

Thanks,
George.

To be honest I wouldn't lose too much sleep on trying to make these overly secure. On a lot of hosts the database name and username start with your host login username, which is often a random set of characters (i.e. say your host login username is a1b2c3, then when you make a database user etc it would start with a1b2c3_), but the chances of someone guessing all of the details is pretty slim. A secure password is the most important thing.
