Has anyone successfully been able to setup a MySQL database on a hosted solution (i.e. godaddy.com, hostmonster, etc...)? I am curious if this is possible so I don't have to setup a single server specifically to host this (to reduce electricity bill). I have multiple devices on the network that use a shared DB currently but I don't want to have a device that is always on solely for the purpose of a hosting the MySQL db.
None of my devices are always on other than the router and NAS and the NAS is too old/slow to process everything at the speed I want.
I will note that I have a few extra Raspberry Pi boards laying around that may be used for hosting that. Has anyone setup a MySQL db server on one of those successfully?
