a website connection to remote database is ok.
in nature the mysql can be remotely connected.
each hoster have their procedure, basically you need to inform support to enable remote access. you need to provide IP ad whitelist.
however some hoster will not allow other server with shared ip to connect to their server. so, there solution will lead to a dedicated IP.
