No, a URL is not used for the install.

Ask your web host to provide you with the database info.  Server host name is almost always "localhost" which isn't anything like a URL.  You will need this info from your provider:

server type - usually "mysql"
database host name
database name
database user name
database user password

Refer to docs/Installation.txt and config.php for more details.
