How to find Database Server Name

I have no idea about databases, and I googled but couldn't figure out. I'm running database on my machine. Is the 'database server name' localhost?

In Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, in the Object Explorer pane, right click the server and select properties. In the pane, there should be a heading called "Connection" and in that heading a link to a new window called "View connection properties". The value next to "Server name" is the name of your server.

Yes "localhost" works and will connect to the default database instance (assuming once exists). Or "127.0.0.1" works. Or "." works too in many scenarios.
