Ok basically, I asked support if they offered mysql databases and they said it was part of the package so yes. Great So I signed up, paid my fees and find out I only get 1 database! Anyway, long story short, I want to use a database of mine hosted elsewhere but my hosts have blocked external connections. They only allow access to the 1 root database. I asked if I could buy more but they dont do this. I had an idea to create a database in a subfolder and use that, would this work? Or another idea, how about using .htaccess somehow to circumnavigate the no external connections rule? Basically, what im asking is, is there a way to get arounds this short of buying a new hosting plan elsewhere?
If you are happy with the performance there, you can create many tables with different prefix in one database. Otherwise, moving to new vendor seems to be better
I am using a script that autoinstalls into the mysql, so if I did, then it would write over existing content
I agree. You can use the same database with multiple users & prefixes, or find a new host which allows more than 1 database. Mostly, all hosts allow unlimited MySQL databases.
