db on different server
Am I able to host my db on a different server than my php? I have a client that already has php hosting but no MySQL support. Can I use a db set up on my other hosting package? Any performance loss this way? thanks,

Re: db on different server
Depends on whether the remote DB is accessible through a TCP connection or not. Many webhosts probably only offer access through a local socket. It’ll probably be a bit slower, especially if the servers are not located close together. For example, you ping the other server and it shows 10ms response times, then each query you do will be delayed by 10ms and if you do a lot of queries, those times add up to a number that has a noticable impact on performance.
