DATABASES

You can choose to use either Microsoft SQL Server or MYSQL databases with your web site.

For the smaller web site you can also use Microsoft Access with our Windows hosting plans.

Are SQL Databases on the same Server as my website?

No. Our SQL database servers are independent from our web servers. This ensures optimum server configuration and performance for your databases.

Is my SQL Database Backed Up?

All our SQL databases are typically backed up every 60 minutes with a 30 day retention policy.

How do I connect to my Database?

Either DSN or DSNLess connections can be used to connect to your scripts to your database.

How do I administer my SQL Database?

1. Microsoft's SQL Management Studio or Enterprise Manager
