Hello

So far to date I have only worked on existing sites and localhost sites where I have been using apache, php and mysql. I have been looking into the processes involved in remote hosted solution and I would like to try and find out more about setting one up from scratch. The issues that concern me are defining users and setting up the db in the first place.

Do I use php to create the DB or will most hosts offer some sort of widget control panel to do that sort of thing. I would presume that it would be a bad idea to have phpmyadmin or similar unless in a secure environment.

Cheers

Most hosts offer some sort of interface to allow you to setup/edit/maintain a MySQL database. Many use PHPMyAdmin in a secure environment and it works quite well. Things I personally look for are PMA, shell access, and mod_rewrite when considering a MySQL website on a remote box.
