A database is a common tool for running a website. We provide 2 types of databases for our clients: a MSSQL database, and MySQL database. Please note we only provide one MySQL database; if you need to use the database for more applications, please use a unique prefix in order to segregate the databases. This will be covered in more detail later.

Once under the Windows Hosting tab, you will be able to click on the Microsoft SQL Database link on the far left menu tree.
In most cases, you will not have any databases created yet. You will need to create one: simply click on Add a New SQL Database. There, you can choose either an SQL 2000, or an SQL 2008 platform.
We offer one free 25MB database for MSSQL. If you require a larger database, please choose the appropriate size from the list.
