Header files (.h) are used at compile time only. This would mean that you have to recompile the application for each location it is used.

You could have a configuration form where all that information is entered, then save it to a table. You could retrieve it whenever needed. I would not use PUBLIC variables. If you only want to read it once, retrieve it to an object that is visible to the entire application.
