I know Dreamhost allows remote use - with a connection to a single IP, verified at the server. That can be the Wan side of a router and will work for all users in a LAN.

By the way I just put the latest BETA Mac version of MySQL 5.1.1 on my Powerbook so I can develop without being connected to a network. I was prepared for a long Terminal session. I was quite surprised.

For those with reluctance to the command line, you'll find you don't have to use Terminal at all installing the latest versions. It features a Slick installer and a second installer for starting MySQL on startup. Finally the MySQL administrator application is 'totally mac' and is well-executed. I'm sure the other platform versions are equally good. You might have to login as ROOT a little bit to get it working.

As far as licensing, it seemed to be freely offered on the MySQL site. They can come and get me if there's a problem. However, I would have paid up to $50 for my personal copy if asked.

Hiya,

You have to be careful with some providers, quite a few of them will not allow remote connections, only local access (such as using php on the server) to server the data.

Cheers,

Luis.
