Ordering MySQL
You can request a MySQL database using SiteControl's Plan Info module. Your database is limited to 50 MB. However, you can purchase additional disk space (in 50 MB increments) if necessary. For detailed instructions on ordering, see the SiteControl User Guide. For pricing information, visit www.hostway.com. Depending on your plan, you may receive 0-2 MySQL database without cost (you can request more at additional cost) . Please note that even if a database is included in your plan, you must still request its activation using SiteControl.
If you have a large database that needs to be hosted, you can contact our sales department at sales@hostway.com to discuss how Hostway can help.
When you request a MySQL database, you will be prompted for:
- Database name. The database name must be between 2 and 14 characters and can contain only letters, numbers and the underscore character.
- Password. Your database password must be at least 6 characters and must contain at least one digit or punctuation symbol.
Once you submit your order, you will receive the following information:
- Database user name. The name you will use to connect to your database. By default, this is the same as your database name.
- Database server name. mysql[n].siteprotect.com (where [n] is the number identifying the specific MySQL server hosting your database). For example, mysql8.siteprotect.com.
