  public string Data()

            string dohvat_podatka = "";


            using ( MySqlConnection con = new MySqlConnection("Server=xxx.000webhost.com;Port=3306;Database=xxx;Uid=xxx;password=xxx;"))
            {
                con.Open();
                using (MySqlCommand cmd = new MySqlCommand("SELECT ime FROM `nastavnik` WHERE prezime=@prezime", con))
                {
                    cmd.Parameters.Add(new MySqlParameter("prezime", "Carić"));

                    using (MySqlDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader())
                    {
                        if (dr.HasRows)
                        {
                            while (dr.Read())
                            {
                                dohvat_podatka = dr.GetString(0);
                            }
                        }

                    }


                }

            }

            return dohvat_podatka;
        }

So what I m trying to do is to connect from my asp.net FREE HOST to a MySql FREE HOST. Is this connection possible? Of course I m getting a error due to the specified connection. I think that the problem is the free hosting that does not allow such a connection to their servers, what' s your opinion?
By the way I m having huge problems with mssql so i can't host on somee.com which would be the best way, but It would me take me like a week to do that.

Usually not with free hosting. You should check your cPanel (or WHM) if it's possible to allow an IP address for external connection (Remote MySQL Access).

Ok I hope that this is the problem(I ll pay them then but first I ll check it).My second question is, will somee.com free asp.net package allow me to make this external connection since it's a free package that I m using?

Wouldn't it be easier to contact their sales department?

My friend suggested me something else, he s got a good package at some popular hosting company.... I ll try to sort things out tomorrow and I ll give some feedback.
