Would it be possible to have your wordpress pages on one hosting account and the mysql database on a seperate hosting account?
I don't think its possible but its not impossible too. You hosting needs to have "Remote MYSQL" enabled for this to happen Most of the time you won't be able to achieve this but, you can talk with your hosting provider about the same.
Which host would need remote mysql the host with the database or the host with the pages? I submitted a ticket to both of them asking the same question and so far no response from either.
No its not possible to have your pages of same site in hosting a/c and remote mysql databases i=on other hosting a/c.
Well one hosting company has agreed it is possible and my VPS has the remote mysql and I have finally have some luck. I have one domain that I have no yet switched the dns for (i cant find the damn password) so I am going to try it. If it works i'll let you know.
LOL I had it up and working and went to delete to WP files from the VPS and accidentally deleted them from the unique ip host by mistake.. thank god for backups huh? Just so you know it works!
