Issue with Remote MySQL Database Connection

Hello,

I am encountering a problem when trying to remotely connect to my MySQL database hosted on InfinityFree. Here are the details of my configuration:

  • MySQL Server Name: sql301.infinityfree.com
  • MySQL Username: if0_35949895
  • Database Name: if0_35949895_utilisateur
  • Port Used: 3306 (default)

I am developing a Discord bot that requires access to this database, but all attempts to connect remotely have failed. Here is what I have tried so far:

  1. I have double-checked my connection credentials and used the information provided in the control panel.
  2. I have specified the default MySQL port (3306) without success.
  3. I am wondering if remote connections are allowed for MySQL databases hosted with you. If not, is there a way to authorize connections from an external IP or script?

I would like to know:

  • Are remote connections allowed for MySQL databases hosted with InfinityFree?
  • If yes, what steps do I need to follow to configure this properly?
  • If not, is there an alternative solution to access the database from another server or external connection?

Thank you in advance for your help. It would greatly assist me in moving forward with my project.

Best regards,
zac

Remote MySQL connections are not possible on our hosting.

Please keep in mind that we provide a website hosting service, not a general purpose database hosting service. If you’re just looking for a database host, not a website host, please find an alternative service that can do what you need.
