A frequently-asked query:
My website is hosted on 110mb.com, which is overall a very good host. However, they cut out some basic features such as MySQL databases, .htaccess, and the ability to use certain PHP code until you pay them to enable it.
I tried db4free.net for a free MySQL database, but it was very unreliable. I caved in and paid for 110mb’s MySQL database support, but it’s down half the time on the server my site is on and they’ve neglected to address the issue for several months.I’d prefer a MySQL database that can be accessed externally since I don’t really want to change hosts or pay for hosting or whatever. I just want the database. If possible, I would like a reliable one with an affordable one-time fee.

@Brandon: 110mb.com suits my needs entirely aside from the MySQL problem. Why would I pay monthly fees for something I don’t need to? Free services can be just as reliable/unreliable as paid ones (db4free.net vs. paid 110mb.com MySQL is a prime example).

I use free http://www.000webhost.com/ , it has two free mysql databases and it supports .htacces and php.

Why not get a reliable host that offers all the tech features you need?
You do not want internet traffic between your php code and your database. Keep it all at least in one data centre.
I like ICDSoft. Very reliable. Technically solid. No nickle and diming.
