“When looking at the DB_Host, it says it’s…”
thats the IP. thats NOT your database.
you need to follow the godaddy instructions for accessing your database using their interface:

By the way, the site is running fine (garysheehan.com). I just have no idea where the database resides!
.. and I just gave you the keys.
whooami,
Thanks for your reply. I had already done what you suggested, but was only able to find the database for my test blog. I have two blogs set up on the domain. One was a test blog in a subfolder named Vintageeng. Vintageeng has its own username, password and a DB_Host name that’s for sure a GoDaddy name (secureserver.net). Vintageeng also has a mySQL database that shows up on the GoDaddy database list. It’s the only one there.
The VintageEng database was set up way after the database for garysheehan.com. I can’t find the database for garysheehan.com. It’s not listed in the databases in GoDaddy. It’s got a weird DB_Name (user_471884). I have no idea where to look for it, GoDaddy has no idea where to look for it, but I set it up on GoDaddy.
Update: OK, I was able to backup my WordPress database using the WordPress Database Backup Plug-in by Scott Merrill. I guess at this point I should create a new database on my GoDaddy domain, and upload the back-up to it. Then repoint to the new database in my wp-config.php file, yes?
Update: That worked. Fore the life of me I have no idea where that original database is!
