What is MySQL VPS?
DreamHost MySQL VPS is DreamHost's premium MySQL database service. Similar in concept to DreamHost VPS, DreamHost MySQL VPS uses Linux Containers (LXC) to isolate the database server.
Difference between shared and private MySQL servers
All DreamHost hosting plans are configured with a shared MySQL server by default. These shared database servers 'share' the resources of the server with all users and databases.
The MySQL VPS is different in that your databases and resources are protected from other users.
How much does it cost?

Is root access available?
Root and SSH access on a MySQL VPS is not available. You must upgrade to a Dedicated Server where the MySQL databases are on the same machine, which allows access to the MySQL config files.
