New to Java

I am having problems connecting to my database, here is the connection class

public class DBConnect
{   
    public static Connection getDBConnect() throws Exception
    {         
        String x = "worked";
        //String url = "jdbc:mysql://mysql8.secureserver.net";
        String url = "jdbc:mysql://mysql13.secureserver.net/DBName?user=User&password=Password";
        System.out.println("Before driver load");
        try 
        {
            Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
            System.out.println("Driver Loaded");
        }
        catch(java.lang.ClassNotFoundException e) 
        {
            System.err.print("ClassNotFoundException: ");
            System.err.println(e.getMessage());
        }
        System.out.println("After driver loaded and Before connect");
            Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(url);
            System.out.println("Tried connect");
            return con;        
    }  
}

here is the error:
