Number of Databases

I am a new Zener and have my current ZenCart on a mates host provider and need to transfer to my own provider. I want to go with a provider who has all the criteria i need however i can only have 2 databases?

These can be up to 100mb each however i have already added on stock by attributes and could add on further features. Do i need to have the ability for more databases.

Will this also be a problem if i want to run a copy / test version of my site?

Any help would be appriciated!! Thanks

Re: Number of Databases

All of the contributions will modify the base Zen Cart db, so you don't need more than one. Having a second available for a test installation will be good. As far as any other databases you might need for other programs, you will have to find that out for yourself by looking up their requirements.

It can be a problem with only 100mb each though, you will run out of space soon. It's not gonna be fun.

Re: Number of Databases

Several Zen Cart-compatible hosts can be found on the "hosting" page (see link at the top of this page).
