I want to create an app that accesses a remote mysql database for authorization. Does anyone have any experience with hosted mysql databases and accessing them remotely? I can communicate locally with a mysql database easily, but I want to know if hosted databses are accesible in the same manner, or do they require php or other scripts?
Most hosting solutions (certainly those that use CPanel) allow wildcard access (%) from the "mysql databases" screen. After that, you can just connect using your domain name, your login and password you define in the settings screen. Keep in mind that the default setting is localhost, exposing your database to the outside world is quite dangerous. If you're on a fixed ip, you can limit access to your ip, or you could define the range of your ISP, e.g. 66.96.192.%. It's all very easy.
