How do I connect to a SQL Server name?

In Server name, type or select the name of your SQL server instance in the form <hostname>\<SQL_instance_name>. Example: On a server named MySQLserver, when using SQL Express with the default instance name, enter MySQLserver\sqlexpress. In Authentication, select Windows Authentication. Click Connect.

Go to services (services.msc) and restart the services in the image and then try to connect.


If you have Microsoft Windows 10:

  1. Type Control Panel on Cortana search bar (which is says by default 'Type here to search'). Or click on Windows icon and type Control Panel
  2. Click on Administrative Tools
  3. Then double click on Services

Follow these steps then you solve your problem 100%.
