>But I maintain the databases myself using Navicat. They still would probably have to set up the database though, I doubt you would ever have root access on a shared server!

A one-time setup >fee, if they have to actually do something, would be acceptable, >but not $5 per month per database... Of course, I agree. BTW - I use Navicat as well, and a warning here if you get a VPS with Plesk on it. I think it's a nice control panel for the most part, particularly if you are going to be hosting clients on the site and want to give them access for setting up things like domains and email accounts. But one thing that really bugs me is that it disables the MySQL root account, instead requiring you to set up individual databases each with their own user. Kind of a pain if you like to remotely administer all your databases under one account. You can fix this, but it requires using the command line interface to add the root account back in. Best is to grant it access only for your IP address, for obvious security reasons. Just an FYI if you do go this route that it's an issue. --- Mary Jo ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Enterprise web applications, build robust, secure scalable apps today - Try it now ColdFusion Today ColdFusion 8 beta - Build next generation apps Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:289331 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
