There are different ways to connect to a MySQL database.

Locally, the settings are: (from a script on the server, to the server)

• Hostname:
  localhost
• Username:
  username_dbuser
• Password:
  dbpassword
• db_name:
  username_dbname
• db_table:
  dbname_table

Remotely: (from a remote computer, using Shell, ODBC, or Navicat)

• The settings are the same, but you must use yourdomain.com in place of 'localhost'.
• We doesn't allow remote connections to our database for security reasons.
