Fantastico is a great addition to the features and freebies offered by WireNine. With Fantastico, I get to install programs to my websites that I normally would have no idea in the world how to set up by myself. Unfortunately, when you use a script from Fantastico, it needs 1 MySQL database. So, if you choose only the beginner web hosting plan, which is actually designed for beginners (thus the name) who is starting out with just 1 website. For beginner web hosting plan, WireNine provides 1 MySQL database where 1 script can be used. So, if you plan to put up a forum, you could install 1 forum script and will use up that single MySQL database allocated to you. If you plan to setup a blog, then you’d use that single MySQL database for a blog script and so on. If you want to install another script, you would have to remove that script from the single MySQL database. To prevent this hassle, it is wise to get at least a personal web hosting plan where you are given 3 MySQL databases. For someone like me, who owns 2 blogs, this is the most practical choice because I get to use 3 scripts and if I am not fond with one of them I just delete it and use another script either to test it or to just make a total makeover of my website.
If you need more MySQL databases, especially if your website is a bit more complex, then you would need to get 5, 10, 15 or even the unlimited MySQL databases being offered by WireNine at different web hosting plans. If you are a professional webmaster with several websites to host, then the Semi-Dedicated web hosting plan would be more than sufficient for you. You can create as many MySQL Databases as you desire but of course this will cost you a bit more. Semi-dedicated servers are priced at $50 per month but considering all the many “unlimited” features being offered, if you have the need for all these then it’s a great order. Other web hosting companies charge their customers at least $1 per month for an additional MySQL databases. So, if you get WireNine’s Semi-dedicated web hosting plan, that’s just like paying for 50 MySQL databases that would actually be yours and even more databases as you please plus many other unlimited features PLUS 20 GB of storage space and 250 Gb of bandwidth! It really is a price to beat and a friend of mine is actually one of those who are hosted under the semi-dedicated web hosting plan and for him, he got his hosting at a bargain price.
Also, for every MySQL databases you have, you are allocated the same amount of PostgreSQL databases. So for beginner web hosting plan, you will also get 1 PostgreSQL database. Both MySQL and PostgreSQL have differences on the features they provide. Though, both databases can support most of the standard data types being used so you could utilize both types of databases.
PhpMyAdmin and PhpPgAdmin are also included on the features offered by WireNine in relation to the database.
