Is it possible for me to connect to a database on Winhost from a site on another server? I am trying to make sure the database information is constantly matching and the best way to do this is to use the same database information (ie the same database). Instead of running a cron ever 20m to update info on multiple sites I wanted to directly connect to the database on Winhost from that site. Example: [Website 1 on Winhost] and [Website 2 on OtherHost] [Website 1 database] -> pull information -> [Website 2 on Otherhost]
Yea. You should be able to do it, as we do not really block where the connections are coming from/to. Do note however, there may be some latency between the connections, since obviously there's some distance between other hosts and our network.
