Database Support Policy

It is not the intent of the Web Hosting service to provide enterprise-level MySQL support. The intent is to provide MySQL databases in support of web applications running on the server (ex: custom PHP apps, WordPress, Drupal, etc.). While we provide support outside of business hours for hosted websites and MySQL data access internal to the server, there is no guarantee of up-time or MySQL data access external to the server.

For database hosting that requires a higher level of support than is provided in this environment, please refer to the enterprise offerings through DoIT's Database hosting team (Oracle and MSSQL).

To contact DBAs with expertise in database systems support, email: db-hosting@lists.wisc.edu
