The problem is likely to do with which ports hostinger allows to be open. Setting up the access permissions within phpMyAdmin allowing connections from '%' 'ANY' client IP does not mean that the port 3306 is open. Contact hostinger support and ask if remote access to MySQL is permitted or whether the port is closed. | |

Did you get this working - love to know how easy it was to use, or even better, how to do it!
Thanks. | |

BlueHost VPS hosting do allow it but yu have to go in to the hosting control panel and enable it. I don't know if they alow it on shared hosting.
I don't use Hostinger so don't know what their policies are.
But you can also use Amazon Web Services (AWS) where they have a zero cost tier which offers a minimal install of MySQL which, in fact is more than enough for minimrp.
Also google have a free tier of their database services which is also more than enough for minimrp.
Microsoft do offer database services for Microsoft SQL Server but, if I'm not mistaken, that's not zero cost so I won't discuss that here.
Security of your database is a thing. With Amazon AWS security is mainly down to your users having a fixed/static IP addres and you can restrict access to evryone except those IP addresses. Google on the other hand do it with a special ID Token that you put on the user's computer. Access to the google service is then only allowed to users with that special token. This is much better for users who are wrking away, mobile, don't have a staic IP. | |
