MySQL database Host

[thanoser]

Hi,
I am not sure if this is the right section I should post this in but
I need to know what the hostname if for the mySQL database on x10hosting.
I tried mysql.x10hosting.com but apparently it isn't. If someone can tell me the hostname for it, that would be great!

Thanks in advance.

You use localhost to connect to mySQL from inside your Free Hosting Account.
If you mean connecting from outside of x10hosting, then forget it. Remote access to the database is blocked at the firewall level. No exceptions.

@descalzo I thought there's a Remote Access option in cPanel. What do you mean?

EDIT: There is a Remote Access Link in the cPanel under MySQL. I don't get what you mean by remote access to the database is blocked at the firewall level

x10hosting's firewall - NOT cPanel - blocks access to your database from 'outside' your x10hosting free-hosting account's server
