I have a domain: www.anova-design.com

When I try to connect to my mysql database by doing the following:
mysql_connect("anova-design.com", "soccer022483", "password");

it gives the following error:
Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user: 'soccer022483@mary.okihost.com' (Using password: YES) in /home/virtual/site325/fst/var/www/html/shoutbox.php on line 38

I know for a fact that I'm using the correct host name and user and password, are they're any settings i need change or something?

check out how your account was set up.

if the webserver runs on the same machine as the MySQL server, then you need to use 'localhost' as servername.
+ make sure that they/you "flushed priviledges" after creating the account.

else check
