Hello,

Have anybody tried using the Access Host in MySQL of cPanel? I understand that it will allow external server or domain to connect or use the MySQL db of a particular account. What will be the hostname to use (equivalent to localhost for local domain) by the external domain then to connect to the Db?


Thanks.

It should be available via the IP address, ie:

hostname: 111.222.333.444
database name: cpanelid_databasename
username: cpanelid_databaseusername
password: passwordforthisdatabase

Thanks disoft. I'll try that.

Using the domain name as the hostname usually works aswell (aslong as you specify the port 3306 usually)
