Please ask your hoster for the data.

What name do we use when setting up the installation where it asks for the database host name?  Is this the domain that the install in registered on for instance if I have a domain on fatcow.com and my domain name registered is clear.biz do I create a host name as fatcow.com?  or do i create a database name clear.biz?

You can´t "create" a hostname. The hostname depends on the location where the database is hosted. Generally you should try it with "localhost" but if that doesn´t work ask your provider for the data you need.

v@no -- do not reply if you are not going to help -- asking hoster is not an answer that is helpful.

Your host administrator is the only one who can answer that question.

This answer ist very helpful because I guess that no one here has a crystal ball, where he can see where your hoster has the databases.
Normally you get all information concerning your domain and databases when you order webspace and domains. So you should look there or ask the hoster.
