How do I access MySQL remotely?

For security and performance reasons, we do not allow Remote MySQL on any of our shared hosting plans.
​
When MySQL is enabled for remote access, it has negative impacts on the server and its users, for example:
​
​

  • External brute force attacks.

  • Some customers might use our server as their main database server and point multiple external sites to our server.

  • If your database users were somehow compromised, external attackers will be able to access your database.


Just to name a few, we've worked with this for a long time and we've found this to be the best solution for most of the users.
​
If you really wanted a remote MySQL server, we would recommend a VPS.
