hi everyone,

Need your enlightenment.
as i know XAMPP is free to use with MySql
but i heard there are people paying for less than <$500 on so called MySql database/server? i asked further but the person didnt response.

hope u guys could guide me.

1) what's the database / server that required to purchase? MySql?
2) is it to store data securely from hacking? or just a space to store data?
3) any recommendation from whom to purchase?

thanks
