Answer 1

If you have cPanel, and "Remote MySQL" is enabled in your cPanel, then..

You can allow external web servers to access your MySQL databases by adding their domain name to the list of hosts that are able to access databases on your web site.

However I guess you are trying to connect to 000webhost from your local computer. I don't think you can do that because cPanel won't consider it a valid host.
