At Pack Web Hosting our aim is to offer services which provide a better value for money proposition with each passing day. It is towards this endeavor that we have now launched a new Dedicated MySQL Server for our Linux Hosting customers. This setup alone can provide you as much as 2x performance gains for your websites as compared to when MySQL is run on the same machine with CPanel, Apache/PHP, Mail Server etc. This is primarily so because MySQL consumes more Computing/CPU Power than any application running on the server.

All web hostings on our Linux servers can utilize this MySQL Service just by following these simple steps :

1. Login into your CPanel
2. Export your existing Database to a SQL file using phpmyAdmin of CPanel (This step is only required in-case you wish to move your existing database to the Dedicated Server).
3. Select RM (Remote MySQL) under Software/Services (if using x3 Theme). Presently this plugin is available only in x and x3 CPanel Themes.
4. Create your new database by entering DBName, UserName and the Password.
5. Click on phpMyAdmin link under RM to manage your new Database.
6. In-case you have exported database in step 2, you can now import it now in the phpMyAdmin which you opened in step 5.
7. Edit the parameters in you current application to point to the new DB location.

The advantages you will get using Dedicated MySQL Server are :

1. We are using latest MySQL version i.e. 5.5. This version offers :
   • 370% faster performance as compared to previous versions. Source : http://www.mysql.com/products/enterprise/database/.
   • InnoDb now becomes default storage engine. It offers : ACID-compliant transactions, foreign key support, and crash recovery. Source : http://blogs.oracle.com/mysql/.....
2. Faster loading of Web Application/Web Sites. This difference can be upto 2x or even more in some cases.
4. Better Database level file security. Since the MySQL dedicated server runs on a different machine, naturally it will be immune to the security concerns of the web-server.
5. And best of all. This service is being offered for all Linux Hosting without any extra cost.

Our MySQL Dedicated server runs on top-line hardware. With this offering we hope that our clients will be able to experience enterprise class service.
