Does your webhoster provide you with a MySQL database to use? If not, you'll need a Shoutbox that uses files for storing the information and not a database. If your webhost does provide you with a database, then you'll need the hostname of where the database is located, the name of your database, and the password to your database. After that, the proper table schema needs to be added to the database so that the shoutbox code can keep all of the entries in the database.
So, first things first, find out if your webhost provides you with a MySQL database that you can use, and if they do, get all the information you can about it so you can access it.
