If it's a CPanel host, you can add an access host at the bottom of the mySQL administration page. Add your ip there and then connect with your client using your domain name as the host. If you have a dynamic IP, you'll have to change it each time your IP changes, or, if it's always within the same class C group, you can add something like: 77.123.123.% With % being the wildcard. Of course, the more of a the IP you make as a wildcard, the more of a security issue you will be opening up.
