Need Help With Offsite Mysql Databases

[Johnny 1]

I was just wondering, is it possible at all to get an ip that allows a gameserver to connect to it and access its MySQL dbs?

I think it is, but I havent tried connecting to an online MySQL server. Theoritically you can connect to an online MySQL server like the way we connect a local machine. When we connect to the local machine MySQL server we used 'localhost' instead of the IP address.

mysql_connect('localhost','user','password');

maybe i will try tomorrow running the php script here in my computer and connect to the online MySQL server of Xisto.com. Lets just say what happened.
