I'm just wondering where the actual files for the MySQL databases reside. If they are "inside" the user's home directory, then clearly the size of the database counts directly against the hard disk space allotment. So if they are external to the home directory, how is the size of the database factored against the allotment.

And while we are talking about MySQL, do customers have database creation priviledges, or does the Rochen staff do that upon request? I assume the customers have unlimited table priviledges.

And the phpMyAdmin? Do you keep that up to date? My current provide stuck on a version well over a year ago and has ignored my first two suggestions to upgrade it. I agree with your policy not to go "Bleeding Edge", but if 6 stable versions have been released since the one featured on the server.... come on....

Quick reponse froma non-Rochen employee... :)

You can create your own databases, no need to submit tickets. Also, Rochen keeps everything up to date (SQL, Apache, PHP, Etc... ) :D

In our end user control panel, it gives you the current space used by SQL databases. You can create your own databases, users for those databases and of course - delete them yourself.

We will always upgrade to the next stable version of anything as soon as it is released.
