To administer databases from home on a PC, using a program like Navicat, MySQLFront, or Dreamweaver, you will need to add an "access host" via the Remote My SQL Database Icon in the cPanel and in the Profile/Billing Tab.
For example, if your Internet Service Provider is AOL, enter "%.aol.com". You can also use this to grant access to a database from another server, for example if you have a web site on a different server which needs to access this database. To do this, instead of entering %.your-isp.com, enter the IP of the server which needs access, like this: "60.15.10.5".
The most common problem in connecting is due to the use of an incorrect user name and password. Please make sure the user name you use matches the user name created in the My SQL database section of cPanel.
Note: MySQLFront can be downloaded at http://www.linuxfixit.com Navicat can be downloaded at www.navicat.com.
