Hi,

I need help on how to access my database from a third party website. Do you have any idea on how? From what i know it's the same way only that you use the server IP address as the hostname or server. However it didn't work for me so i'm wondering if there's another way of accessing my mysql database from outside.

Thanks,

Not necessarily. Their database could be behind a firewall that blocks access from outside.

Indeed, there must be a problem with connection like (ip block, firewall, wrong username/pass (!?)). I've worked many times with databases hosted on other servers with no problem
