Does anyone know of a good mysql hosting service? One which gives everyone access to the database through a website or through microsoft access front ends?

I have a mysql database already set up on line, but unfortunately only I can only access it through localhost through phpadmin...(i was told that that is the only way my web host will give access - because of bandwidth issues).

What I was hoping for was a hosting company that serves the database, not through localhost - but through full unlimited access - so I can use it properly (through custom interfaces) and exploit the full power of mysql.

Anyhosting server like this will end up costing you 400 or so a month. You have to setup a server with mysql and then create a bridged vpn connection to that server. If you want to spend the money www.rackspace.com and most other web companies can helkp.

Try Mozcom.com they host or uses open source softwares, like mySQL, PHP, Apache and Linux.

get a dedicated server where you can control the firewall so you can connect remotely like i hv ;)

i love this one

They offer hosting of "unlimited domains" and you will get massive webspace of 300000 MB (300 GB ). They only charge $5.95/month and they offer "a free Domain Name" and installing service called "Fantastico". By using Fantastico, you could create own forum, photo gallery, shopping cart (e-commerce),your own auction site and your own blogs within few seconds. They also offer "Free Website Builder" as well.
