I told my client to use a particular host, or at least one that offers a database... they instead went with a friend of a friend that offers hosting as a reseller.

Now I'm the web developer for this huge site overhaul which requires a database with a host that doesnt offer it.

I'm new to databases... thats why I'm accustomed to using the simplicity of ipowerweb or mediatemple and their phpmyadmin interface.

Anyway... what do I do? Will a database hosted elsewhere work? If you know about this stuff, please help.. I may not be asking the right questions!

THanks!!!

It depends on whether the Database ISP is allowing default port allowing in to their server (1433). In most cases the biggest ISP block this. My ISP, dewacorp.com, allowing this but only for maximum of 2GB database size.

If you consider doing this, think about the latency between Web ISP and Database ISP cause it may have an issue depending how far they are.
