How to connect MYSQL Database of epizy.com (which is free database provider), to www.mydomain.co.in (which is purchased domain)
Can we connect it!
Have a look what the error is showing here
You need to have hosting first
If your website hosted and working with database on the free host you have mentioned, then you can connect your domain by changing the DNS A records, you will have an IP address which you can browse your website through, copy this IP address and then add it to the domain setting under A/AAAA Records in the DNS manager, after that you may need to wait up to 72 hours to see your website live on the new domain
There are certain free database hosting provider which provides remote access to their database.
Remote access here signifies all the requests made to the database are
originated from their own hosting server (eg, using their hosting
service for php, jsp etc) or any other hosting service provider.
But if remote access is not allowed means all request trying to connect database will be discarded if it's been made from other than their own servers.
So, irrespective of you correct ID and password to the database, you cannot connect to it remotely if blocked by the provider.
000webhost.com, comli.com are such providers for PHP based site
hosting, and, eatj.com is best for testing a Java hosted sites (but
for 11 days trial is only free) all above provider provides free
database hosting.
Turn on error reporting to know exactly what is going wrong.
Or change local host to the websites SQL server
You must have IP for free database provider then you can set this IP as your database HOST.
Also the remote access must be allowed by the server if it is not allowed you can not access your database from different server. Please ask your server support to enable it.

Why connect remotely to hosting databases?
Connecting Remotely to Shared Hosting Databases
I have a number of apps running on Dreamhost and am creating a small app I will use locally to present reports on information stored in various databases. I do not want to host this reporting tool online so I need the app to connect to the remote MySQL server from my machine.
Codeigniter has been giving me an error all afternoon that it can't connect to the remote server, I'm guessing this is down to Dreamhosts security on remote access. I don't have a dedicated IP address so it's not ideal to set on the user account to allow external access. I've tried exploring an IP tracking solution such as No-IP, however I'm not sure if I've configured it properly, or if it'll even the service is capable of allowing my app to access the remote MySQL server when ever it needs.
Does anyone know how to get these working correctly, or am I on the right track??
I am facing this problem:
stackoverflow question
except my host doesn't seem to have cpanel. Since the answer given in the linked question is cpanel related it has not helped me. Is there anything I can do?
It seems you are trying to connect from a client machine located on your desk to a mySQL server instance located in a service provider's server farm. You're trying to use the ODBC "driver" for mySQL to do this, so you can look at your mySQL data with MS Access. (Right?)
You need to make sure this particular hosting service provider allows remote connections to their mySQL server instances. Some service providers, especially the lowest-cost ones, prevent these remote connections using firewalls or other network isolation techniques. (They do that because it's easier to control both security and performance when only their own web servers can connect to their mySQL servers. ) If your service provider prevents all these connections as a matter of policy, you're going to need another service provider.
If they DO allow remote connections, you may need to enable those connections for your mySQL database. That's what the "cpanel" function mentioned in the other question is about. cpanel is a popular control panel web application offered by many commercial hosting service providers to allow self-service control by their customers. If your service provider doesn't use cpanel, you'll have to find out what they do use. Even if they do use cpanel, they may still not allow remote mySQL connections.
You will also have to make sure your client machine (the one running ODBC) and user have authorization in the mySQL user database.
You would do well to put in a service ticket to your service provider asking if they do offer remote mySQL access. If they say "yes," then you can ask them for advice and help on setting it up.
Keep in mind that opening mySQL server instances for direct connection over the publicly accessible internet is not ordinarily considered a good security practice. If the data in your database is in any way private (peoples' identity information, for example) you need to be very careful indeed.
Not sure if this is the right forum for me to ask this question.
But I'm wondering does anyone having difficult using JustHost as web hosting provider in establishing remote access to their mysql database server environment?
What happened recently was that I'm trying to use mySQL ODBC driver connector via MS access to access their mysql database.
Originally I know what my username/password is and JustHost(well.. at least that's what I think they normally do) is set this similar setup for all other CPanel access such as your FTP, email, billing info, etc, etc.
Thus I tried using my username/password to logon into the mysql database via MS ACCESS's odbc connector. But I kept on being rejected to log in.
I started whether the password I used to log on my CPanel services would be different that the one used to access mysql via PHPAdmin window. Thus with that in mind, I forwarded the query to Justhost helpdeskteam.
Unfortunately they don't have a clue about this.
Thus that's what brought me here in this forum, begging this question - does anybody know what's the appropriate approach in remotely connecting mysql database environment via a web hosting provider such as Justhost.com?
Sorry for the elongated story.
Thought it would help to state the meaningfulness of my supposedly-trivial problem.
Log in to your JustHost account and scroll down to Remote MySQL. You need to add the IP address(es) of the remote server(s) to the list of Access Hosts.
I developed a project in VB.NET
In this project I want to use data from MySQL that is resides in my WEB Server.
I can communicate with the MySQL server of my localhost but can not communicate with the WEB Server.
In my CPanel I added Host from the Remote Database Access
But I can't communicate with WEB MySQL Server.
Please help me.
The first step is to try to connect to the web mysql with MySql Query Browser - that will tell you if the database is open for remote connections ( I assume it would fail)
I guess you have already checked it, but make sure you use the correct ip
EDIT:
As Björn said, your vb code is ok, so the problem is with the connection to the db.
Unfortunately that would be caused by many many reasons.
Are you sure you use a real IP from the host (and use it in the mysql settings)?
Are you sure you entered the correct remote host in the mysql settigns?
Are you sure you have correct connection string in the vb code?
Since your post indicates you can access the DB on your localhost, it doesn't seem to be an issue with the way you're connecting to the DB from your application (.NET-Connector?).
What does the external MySQL-Server say? Access denied? Or can't you reach it from the pc where your application is hosted (aka maybe a firewall regulation, other network etc.)?
