mySQL TOS /appropriate use question

[Mandi]

I have a project that I want to develop using mySQL DB. Is it okay to utilize an unused DB on one of my Platinum accts towards that project for development purposes, with the idea that once I'm satisfied with it, I'll move it to its own package (Gold or higher of course)? By development, I mean purely for my own eyes - no (intentional) traffic. I'll be blunt and say I'm looking to cut costs before I have something worth looking at, LOL - but I wanted to be open about what I was thinking of doing.

Hi Mandi,

As long as the "development" doesn't interfere with the normal operations of the servers and access is from the account/package that includes MySQL privileges, there wouldn't be any reason you couldn't utilize one of the unused databases on the package for this purpose.

Hope this helps,
Melissa
