The SSH hostname should be "ssh.pythonanywhere.com"

Thanks, everything works fine.

A FINAL NOTE FOR THOSE WHO FACED THE SAME PROBLEM

  1. YOUR SSH HOST MUST BE SET TO "ssh.pythonanywhere.com"
  2. YOUR SSH PASSWORD MUST BE SET TO YOUR PA ACCOUNT PASSWORD
  3. YOUR GENERAL HOST MUST BE SET TO "username.mysql.pythonanywhere-services.com
  4. YOUR GENERAL USERNAME MUST BE SET TO YOUR PA USERNAME
  5. YOUR GENERAL PASSWORD MUST BE SET TO YOUR MYSQL PASSWORD
