Connect to MySQL Database Remotely

Question

If I have a MySQL database hosted on one site, and I want to connect to it from another site, is there a way to do this?

You must to ask host provider ! to see if they use localhost for her Databases or other server like server.somesite.com but the most host providers use localhost — Alpha Root Mks, Aug 08 '13 at 20:14

Yes.

You would have to configure MySQL to allow access from the remote server, and ensure that any intervening firewalls allow the MySQL port to go through.
