Connect remotely to a MySQL database in my Web Hosting (cPanel) account

2. Under Web Hosting, next to the Web Hosting (cPanel) account you want to use, select Manage.
   
3. In the account Dashboard, select cPanel Admin.
4. In the cPanel Home page, in the Databases section, select Remote MySQL.
5. Under Add Access Host, in the Host field, enter the IP address from which you want to access your databases.
