You're confusing the word "prefix" with "username".
The DB_PREFIX setting in Zen Cart is something *you* decide, and is used as a *tablename* prefix, not a *databasename* prefix.
Zen Cart doesn't care how you name your database: use whatever your hosting company provides, and simply tell Zen Cart the correct database name in the configure.php file.
