Where can I remotely host a MySQL database and connect to it through a c# application?

Question

MySQL

At the moment I have a working desktop application in C # with a local MySQL database. I want to place the database on some hosting or vps, and then connect to it through the application to work with the data. I read that you need to use SSH to work with VPS, does it need to be implemented in the application, or can the application connect simply by connection strings?

Answer 1

google free mysql hosting

Answer 2

I know the ClearDB service, where you can download SSL keys and certificates, and then it’s probably enough to specify the required connection string in a .NET application.
At least a Ruby on Rails application works this way without problems.

Answer 3

VPS is absolutely not required for these purposes.
Any paid hosting will suit you, as a rule, Mysql will be the default there.
