Can I set up ODBC access to a database on the server?

Not in most cases. ODBC access is not a good security risk on shared hosting. If you are using it to let the server access a local database, it potentially gives access to everyone with the same IP. Client with Nameserver accounts, VPS accounts, or dedicated servers can get carefully planned remote access.

You CAN share data using XML, if you are so inclined. Of course, you can also do a dump from the local database, transfer the dump to the new server using the File Manager in the control panel, and run the dump file on the remote server.

If remote access is either direction is mission-critical, ask us about a a different kind of hosting account.
