Hi, I currently run www.gameaholix.com which is a video game orientated community. My site requires PHP and MySQL, and I am currently shopping around for a new web host.
In addition to the website, I also host a game server (Counter-Strike Source). The game server runs on its own machine independent from the web server. I am not moving the game server, I'm only interested in moving my web site. The game server logs stats on all the players that join the game server and then I display those stats on the webserver (http://www.gameaholix.com/css/stats). The game stats are stored in a separate MySQL database. So I will actually need 2 databases, 1 for my website, and 1 for my game stats.
What I need to know before I buy from TCH is, do you allow remote connections to the MySQL server? In that I mean connections other than from localhost because the machine my game server runs on will need access to the MySQL server to update the stats at 0400 EST daily.
Will I be able to do this with the TCH starter plan?
