It sounds like you already have them.

The database name your host has given you is the name of the blank database they have setup for you.

Follow the install instructions at:-

Installing SQL Server Version

This will tell you where to put in the information your host has given you on the blank SQL Server database they have setup for you.

I think you are getting stuck on 'blank database' you already have a database this is what your host has given you.

You just need to enter the details of the database server and the database name your host has given you, they have already created the database for you, so you don't need to.

This thread tells me that I have to install SQL Server version of forums or any other web wiz products if my host has provided me with mssql.

Your web host will provide you with these details. It usually isn't your domain name, but I wouldn't know how your web host have setup their servers.

No, you can run any database type you'd like. You can setup Web Wiz Forums on SQL, mySQL or Access.

Now if you have the option of SQL, go with this option as it is the fastest and safest way to run your forum.
