Are there separate fees for database hosting as opposed to web site hostong?

Bringing on the DB: Normal Hosting -v- Database Hosting.

While each web host is different, most include database hosting as a separate fee. Database driven websites require constant backups of your data in case of a web host failure, and the software licensing is expensive on some database packages. You'll generally find a setup fee for a web site database of anywhere between $25 and $70, with a monthly charge in the range of $20-$50 per month, depending on how many products you plan to store. Remember, you get what you pay for, so don't skimp on your business' database needs.
