Thank you for getting in touch with us about Hosting.
1: The script you are trying to run does not work as our Database server is pre-configured, unfortunately we cannot install, remove or change any software/settings for you (including modifications to the php.ini file or changing the IIS security settings) as you are on a shared hosting platform and the software/configuration settings in place apply to the entire user base.
2: The new Database servers are of a high-availablilty pair for resiliency, with master-master replication, so that if one goes offline, the other comes straight up.
Auto-increment is set server-side to go up in 2s - odd on one server, even on the other. This prevents data collisions in auto-increment fields.
For this reason we cannot modfiy the settings unfortunately.

I really need to stay with these people for a while, at least in terms of the website. Are there any significant issues we will have to watch for? Is there anything I can do with our code to prevent them? I've never looked into running the website on one host and the database on another, but should we be looking at that?
Thanks, as always.
