With MyODBC is pretty easy to accomplish that task.

Just download the drivers from :

Follow the instructions for installation.

Create your Data Source (Control Panel ODBC) and you are ready to view or edit your data in Access, Excel or

For security reasons you have to provide your static IP Address to Hostony support so that they can enable port 3306 for your IP.
If you have a dynamic IP address (as I do), Hostony support will enable it via ICQ (#122590581) if you request it.
