How do I connect to my hosting database from my PC?

1. Log in to the control panel
2. Choose MySQL
3. Choose the database in question
4. Create a separate user to use for the connection (not required, but better). So choose Create New Database User.
5. After creating the user, choose Add host at the bottom (under Access Hosts) and enter the IP address you want to connect from. You can look up your IP address at https://whatsmyip.org

That is basically everything on the hosting side. On your PC, set the client to port 3306 (default). You should already have the database name and the username. Note that the database starts with your DirectAdmin account name followed by an underscore (_).
