Connect to remote database in asp.net core-CodePudding

I am trying to build an asp.net core mvc application. I have an already existing remote database on this website that provides free sql server https://www.freesqldatabase.com/

when I created the database I have recieved an email with credentials of the db Host: sql6.freesqldatabase.com Database name: sql6455969 Database user: sql6455969 Database password: pass Port number: 3306

Now I am trying to connect to it but it gives me this error An unhandled exception occurred while processing the request. InvalidOperationException: Internal connection fatal error.

This is the code in appsettings.json file

"ConnectionStrings": {
"APDBConnection": "Server = sql6.freesqldatabase.com,3306; Database = sql6455969; User Id = sql6455969; Password = pass;"
 },

code in startup.cs

        public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
    {
        services.AddDbContext<ApplicationDbContext>(options =>
            options.UseSqlServer(
                Configuration.GetConnectionString("APDBConnection")
            )
        );
        services.AddControllersWithViews();
    }

I don't know what is the problem with the connection

Thanks to Ian's answer I have found that I should use UseMySql instead of UseSqlServer and install Pomelo.EntityFrameworkCore.MySql packet

        services.AddDbContext<ApplicationDbContext>(options =>
            options.UseMySql(
                Configuration.GetConnectionString("APDBConnection")
            )
        );

It would be really great if you'd read the actual website:

Currently we offer MySQL with plans to launch further database platforms with multiple platforms including the latest releases.

MySQL is not MSSQL.
