Frequently Asked Questions

What is MySQL VPS?
DreamHost MySQL VPS is DreamHost’s premium, private MySQL database service. Similar in concept to DreamHost VPS, DreamHost MySQL VPS uses Linux Containers (LXC) to isolate the database server for faster, more reliable performance.
What is the difference between shared and private MySQL servers?
All DreamHost hosting plans are configured with a default shared MySQL server. These shared database servers ‘share’ resources of the server with all users and databases. A shared server can potentially lead to performance bottlenecks when experiencing unusually high traffic.
MySQL VPS’s unique approach to protecting database resources from other users enhances peace of mind with reliable and consistent database performance.
How many databases can my account contain?
As long as they fit within your MySQL VPS plan’s storage limit, there is no limit to the number of databases. In general, you will have one for each site that requires a database.
Is root access available?
Root and SSH access on a MySQL VPS is not available. Upgrading to a Dedicated Server, where the MySQL databases are on the same machine, will allow access to necessary MySQL config files.
How do I add or delete a MySQL VPS?
Please see this article in our Knowledge Base for more information on adding and deleting MySQL VPS from an existing DreamHost account.
