Web Hosting - Database Policies
The DoIT Web Hosting service provides MySQL database support on our Linux platforms. It is primarily for web applications hosted on our servers (such as WordPress, Drupal, and custom PHP applications).
MySQL is managed directly by the Customer through the Plesk control panel: Web Hosting - Managing MySQL Databases.
This service is not intended for standalone "enterprise-level" database needs. If you require a high-performance or standalone database environment, please see Oracle, and MS SQL, enterprise database hosting options available from DoIT (a separate service fee applies)
