After creating your database through your control panel you can connect and manage it the following ways:
If you have Helm control panel PhpMyAdmin is an easy to use web-based administrator interface which is accessible at:
xx.xx.xx.xx is the ip of your control panel or the ip of your domain if it already resolves
MySQL Tools is a very popular management tool written by Toolmagic Software. It can be downloaded from http://www.mysqltools.com/download.htm and it's free for evaluating and personal purposes. To configure it:

MySQL Server:

Login Name: the username you given at database creation in your control panel.
Password: the password you given at database creation in your control panel.
Select Use SQL Server authentication radio button.
What should I check if I'm still unable to connect?
- Check if you are using the proper ip address
- Check if you are using the proper login name
- Check if you are using the proper password
- Check if port 3306 is open by your firewall or proxy server on your local network
- Check if MySQL Explorer can communicate with the Internet (not disabled by your personal firewall)
