MYSQL server question on UBUNTU

Do I need to obtain a DNS name and pay for anything, If I want only to use the mysql db's on my server, from another server I have currently up.

I'm saying, if I could just use the mysql I suppose it would be called remotely, from my server without ever having to pay anything?

you can use IP address, so no, you don't need a domain.

You will of course need to ensure you can reach the server from the other, and on the correct port. The usual networking logic applies.
