Well perhaps you could install MYSql on your hosting.

But to be honest I'd be temped to pay $5 a month to get the right hosting.

 

Here for example:

How serious are you about running an online store?

If you're in it as a 'game' then you're making all the right choices...

If you're serious about the business decisions you make, you will have a proper budget and business plan in place... which would include a reliable webhost which offers you all the features and requirements you need.

 

If you're interested in a good host, I can steer you towards mine, though you'll have to PM me since commercial advertising is prohibited in the forums.
