Some possible reasons why it might not connect...
1: If you have a router, you may have to port forward the MySQL port.
2: If it's on x10's side, you can go in cPanel and click where it says 'Remote MySQL' and add your IP.

If you have a router, you can go to http://portforward.com and look for your router, unless you already know how to port forward... If it already is port forwarded, make sure you check your firewall too.
If it wont work when you add your IP to the remote MySQL list, then you may have to ask an administrator to allow it for you...

Can you upload the databases into MySQL? If you're designing a website for more than just your own use then you'll want it up and running 24/7, not just when your machine is on.

Also - you probably don't want to leave an opening that will allow people into your own machine. Someone floods your database and your machine will come to a crawl :/

WoW private servers are illegal, and i suggest you remove all references to your PS as soon as possible, if an account manger sees this thread your account will be terminated for illegal content.

Edit: just had a look at your site and there are no references, but i suggest it stays that way if you wish your account to remain active

if its illegal why gave blizzard the ability to makeprivate servers?

anyway i fixed it,but i will remove it if you say so...

Blizzard did NOT give you the ability to make 'private' servers. Just because it is possible to reverse engineer and emulate the service does not make it legal.

ok u have a point

but thereare like 1000private servers, someof themwith 10000 ppl on it, theyjust cant close that and as long its not public its not bad, it was just formyfriends like 4-5ppl....

Regardless, it's illegal. x10hosting specifically state in their terms that you can't use the servers for illegal activities. Most of the private servers are hosted on peoples own machines (as in, the ones they have at home) as a hosting company close down private servers as soon as they're spotted.
