Re: Could not connect to MySQL server in Hosting

It's possible you might be experiencing the same thing as this GitHub issue:
https://github.com/bigtreecms/BigTree-CMS/issues/241

I'd try checking the "Connect via Socket or Alternate Port" checkbox and entering 3306 for the "Port" and seeing if that fixes it.

Re: Could not connect to MySQL server in Hosting

I'd try different variations of localhost connections:
- "localhost" as hostname
- "127.0.0.1" as hostname
- Connect via socket

Depending on how MySQL is installed sometimes PHP doesn't know where/how it should connect to a local MySQL server.
