any one help with this database connection error error

Use the server details provided on your Databases tab to connect to the database.

can i use the database that runs on my machine , i have a normal paid account

Yes you can use. They have both option Mysql and sql lite. You can use Mysql or Sql lite( which is default in pythonanywhere).

You can use a database that runs on your machine if your machine is accessible from the general internet.
