By default, all IPs are blocked and must be added to an access list in order to access the server.
Therefore, before connecting to MySQL from another computer, the connecting computer must be enabled as an Access Host.
If you do not know your IP address, find it by going to www.ping.eu
Dynamic IP Addresses
Having a dynamic IP address means that the connecting IP address can change periodically, depending on the Internet Service Provider (ISP).
You must update the connecting IP in Remote MySQL every time it changes.
Procedure
- Log into cPanel.
- Under Databases, click the Remote MySQL icon.
- In the Host field, type in the connecting IP address.
- Click Add Host.
You should now be able to connect remotely to your database.
