MySQL Online Database

Question

Can anyone suggest a good online free MySQL database. I've tried four till now:

db4free FreeMySQL onPhP 000webhost

Either of them gave me an timeout error on my connect file or actively restricted connection to it, meaning the host won't allow a remote connection to the database.

If there isn't any good online database can I create my own server using my computer, since it gets rarely turned off and when my server is offline I could return an error message saying that the server is currently offline. My final objective is to have a simple comment box for a webpage. Witch I believe it won't need a massive data storage with 3 columns (id, name, comment)

NOTE: Can't post more then two links yet.

Solution 1

I recommend you to try https://hostzil.la

They provide :

1. Free CLOUD hosting
2. Upto 100 mb diskspace
3. UNLIMITED bandwidth,database, etc.
4. Low downtime.
5. High speed servers.

I Recommend you to try it. They are new but i host there for months and i dont have any sort of problems. My website loads faster(max load time:734ms) . You can find your website load time @ tools.pingdom.com

Regards Venkat, Happy hosting.

And Running Own server cause many problems(your computer cannot take the traffic) as hosting companies will have equiments loaded to hold high traffic and also you require high speed internet connection(special plans provided by your isp).

Solution 2

Here is several free relational database service.

http://aws.amazon.com/free/

"To help new AWS customers get started in the cloud, AWS is introducing a free usage tier. The free tier can be used for anything you want to run in the cloud: launch new applications, test existing applications in the cloud, or simply gain hands-on experience with AWS. "

But the service i've register is xeround.com which give you free 10 mb of db storage.

Hosting via your home broadband is considered less reliable than using those in data centers since ISP's generally have more downtime. Even the most stable connections can have no internet for X seconds and still retain a sync with their exchange because they haven't timed out. Unless you have a low contention line with a SLA agreement I do not recommend hosting at home.

Also most free SQL providers have limits such as database size and request limit.. if its a small database and not many requests per a day then I recommend xeround.com

As with most things, when it comes to web hosting you get what you pay for. Even $5/mo will get you infinitely better reliability.

I'll give it a try, I hope it has MySQL database and that allows me to remotely access them trough PhP
