Hope you guys can help me out on this one.
Hi Jezzacob,
The error you're seeing is most commonly shown when the database credentials are incorrect, or the database doesn't exist. I'm not familiar with 000webhost but my suggestion is to:
1) Make sure you have created a database
2) Assigned a user to that database with the un/pw you want to use
3) Ensure the user has full permissions on that database
4) Verify the database host
By the looks of it, you've done these but double check #3 and #4 specifically as that ends up being the problem most of the time.

As always, you get what you pay for.
