Hello, I'm making a website and I'm using podserver.info for a web host and freesql.org (http://www.freesql.org/freesql/mysql) for a mysql. And for some reason, every time I enter my mysql information, the SMF forum mod wont seem to accept my mysql server name, which is a post to be "freesql.org". The rest of the information seems good with no problems, can someone tell me why is happening? I tried putting localhost for server name as well.

you are best to contact the service you are using for the database hosting and confirm that the connection information is correct, no one here at smf will be able to tell you much more.

I guess this database is no good, do you know or anyone else know a good website hoster with a FTP, control panel, and a connect able mysql?
Freesql.org doesn't allow forum databases anyway. Note the text next to the checkbox on the registration form: "I understand that FreeSQL.org cannot host any forum databases and they will be deleted automatically.".
If you want free webhosting, try 000webhost.com, but know that you usually don't get great service from free hosts like you would from paid hosts.
