should be
mysql_connect("your.hostaddress.com", "username", "password") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("Database_Name") or die(mysql_error());
?>
mysql_connect("your.hostaddress.com", "username", "password") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("Database_Name") or die(mysql_error());

Of course whatever you don't want to be registered ex: if you don't want emails or sex remove ,'$_POST[email]','$_POST[sex]
<?php
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","root","root");
if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
mysql_select_db("Website", $con);
$sql="INSERT INTO users (firstname, lastname, username, password, birthdate, email, sex)
VALUES
('$_POST[firstname]','$_POST[lastname]','$_POST[username]','$_POST[password]','$_POST[birthdate]','$_POST[email]','$_POST[sex]')";
if (!mysql_query($sql,$con))
{
die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo "Your account has been created!";
mysql_close($con)
?>

That whole approach to connecting to and querying a mysql database has been pretty much obsolete for the past couple of years and I'm almost certain the most recent php versions have officially declared it deprecated.
I'm not flaming for your assistance or "help" but frankly you're explaining how to use an extension which is widely frowned upon. Qual: you should look at the mysqli or PDO extensions as they're the only ones available in the latest php versions.
