By default only local (coming from 127.0.0.1 or localhost) connections are accepted by MySQL server. If you want to reach it with remote client:

Log in to the domain’s cPanel interface and find the section on the main page labeled Databases.
In the Databases section find the link/button labeled Remote MySQL and click on it.
A new page will appear in your browser. Add a hostname or IP address that you want to grant remote MySQL access to and then click the Save button. If a host or IP address needs to be removed from this list you can click the red X next to the entry in the list.
Once you have made your changes/additions to the list you can return the main page of the cPanel interface, or log out if you have no other tasks to take care of.
