I am trying to host 100+ Wordpress websites on Azure. For that I would need MySQL databases and I am confused which route I should go. With quick google search, I found mainly three options
Use MySQL Preview (which is not good for production environment)
Purchase costly third party subscription by ClearDB or Bitnami
Set UP windows/Linux VM and host LAMP Server on it. Host MySQL server there. I am just trying to know if there are any other better options. Thank you.
Update: One primary requirement I have is those wordpress websites are already created and I am migrating them to new hosting. I need separate database for each Word press site.

I developed a Laravel application (using Mysql for my database locally and remotly) for a small business and they asked me to make the application usable even if there is no internet connection, so I don't know where to start, What should i do to make my local db (the one in the company's computer) with the db hosted in digital ocean droplet. so that my application can be used in the event of an internet disconnection.
when i searched i found the concept of replication but the problem is that database contain links of files and pictures stored in the public/storage folder of my laravel project so i assume im gonna have to sync between the 2 storage folders (the one in the DO server and the one in my company).what should i do?
Me and my friend have to do a project in Mysql and i am trying to find how me and my friend can work on mysql together from our own workstations. Is there a way where we both can work on the same database together without being physically present.
I am fairly new to mysql.
Just take cheap shared hosting that has MySQL databases and preferably also PHPmyAdmin and cPanel or any other panel to easily manage your databases. In that way, you have minimum hassle to create and manage databases that you can both access.
Google "compare cheap shared hosting" and that's it. Or take this quick Google result I got: https://www.pcmag.com/picks/the-best-cheap-web-hosting-services
If you're not happy to pay $1-$2 per month for hosting then you can install WAMPP or XAMPP on Windows machine but then you'll have to also Google how to forward ports from your router.
Edited 3aug2020: For a free MySQL hosting for up to 5MB free storage please, check https://www.freemysqlhosting.net
You can use a program like XAMPP to host mysql and port-forward phpmyadmin so your friend can visit your db

If you have MYSQL running on a server or your local computer you can both access phpmyadmin (http://server-ip/phpmyadmin) you can also use programs like Navicat (paid) or HeidiSQL (Free).
You can make the database remotely accessible, in which case your friend can connect and work on it as well.
Without knowing more about your network setup it is difficult to say how you should proceed, but generally it is enough to spin up a mysql-server instance on the host machine, then forward a WAN port to the LAN address and port of the host machine.
I have made a MySQL database on my local server.
I want to port this to Heroku. Would there be any way to do this without using ClearDB? ClearDB asks for account verification, credit card details etc. which I do not want to give. The rest of the application is hosted on Heroku, so I just need to migrate the database.
Would this be possible?
You have at least three options:
There are other Heroku addons that provide MySQL databases. I'm not sure if any of them let you get started without a credit card.
You could use a MySQL provider that's not explicitly supported by Heroku and point your application to it manually.
You could update your application to use PostgreSQL instead of MySQL and use Heroku's own Postgres service.
I am about to install WordPress on a Windows 2008 server - two load balanced servers with a UNC share. Web browsing using the server is out of the question (IT security policy) so using the Microsoft Web Platform Installer is also a non starter. I will therefore have to install it manually.
So far I have installed PHP (routine), but I now need to install MySQL and create a database. However, with these being two separate servers, what effect is this going to have on the database - will this require a database on each server? Will they remain in sync? Can the database itself be put in the UNC share?
In short, can anyone advise me whether this is possible and how to go about it?
Thanks
Install MySQL and create the database on the server which is supposed to have it - preferably a 3rd one or on the UNC. In the MySQL config, enable network connections via my.cnf, specifically the bind-address.
Both the PHP boxes should connect to that one MySQL db (using it's LAN ip address). (And yes, they would remain in sync since they connect to the same db.)
I have developed several websites on my local host for school. I can program database driven aspects of a webisite such as a blog on my own no problem. At school I used a MySQL DB which was hosted on a dedicated server, so when the server went down I could not have access to my data. I also have a mysql DB on my localhost but...my question is this: If i use the MySQL DB on my localhost, won't I only have access to the data when my computer is running so that my site can make server requests?
How can I set up any kind of DB for my site that is reliable and doesn't depend on my localhost to act as a DB Server?
I am now developing in .NET
Thanks. PS I don't have access to schools' server any more.
PPS I still don't have a site set up through a hosting provider...probalby going to go with godaddy
You'll need a server for that. A server will cost you on a monthly basis, I haven't heard of any free mysql servers, someone else may be able to help you with that.
Regular hosting providers supply PHP and MySQL server. I run my sites on Dreamhost (www.dreamhost.com)
It might also be worthwhile to look into Amazon EC2 : http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/
Also Amazon RDS for pure database only usage : http://aws.amazon.com/rds/
They provide a pay as you use service and the tier 1 service is free for the first year as I understand
There's no magic, you have to host your DB on a server that will run 24/7. Could be on the internet, it depends on the firewalls surrounding you.
The website will always depend on some sort of database server, why so worried that your database will be unreachable? Your webserver can go down also and will have the same consequences as the db.
Why don't you get some paid hosting? It is fairly cheap these days, for around 30dollar/year you will have some reliable hosting. When the DB will break down, it is not your responsibility.
If you don't want te be dependent of MySQL, you will need to use plain-text database that will be maintained by PHP or something.
You might consider running the MYSQL in i.e. a cloud provider, like Amazon EC2. It will certainly cost some money.
