title: Can I prevent my web host provider access information in my "mySQL" database?
body: <p>I was wondering if I could prevent my web host provider from accessing information in my "mySQL" database.</p>
  
  <p>For example, if I embed a PHPBB forum engine into my website, is there a way I can prevent the employees working for the hots provider access the confidential details posted on my forums? I know that PHPBB stores the database credentials in a human readable config file which kinda makes it futile to protect the database with a password...</p>
  
  <p>Many thanks!</p>
