This being my first ecommerce website, im confused about how to create a live connection between my hosted (VPS maybe or?) mysql database and to my computer at home. Must I have a static IP address from my ISP? For this ecommerce site I will need to see and download the orders and also respond to questions in the forum page in real time. So in what ways can this be done? Thx
surely there is an admin interface you can login to and check orders?

The webhosting company offers CPanel, but they are saying I need or should have a static IP address to log into the admin side. Also I asked our developer to enable the orders from MySQL database be pushed to our FM database in real time. Using ODBC this should be ok, but if understand correctly that if my IP address changes, then we will lose this connection. So other than having a static IP address from my ISP, is their other ways around this?
Does the system not email you when a sale is made?
What kind of system is it that needs a "live" connection.

Well I guess I didnt think that it would be that much of a problem having a live connection, so that the orders would be updated by the system in real time, and not have to open emails, download the file, open the file, import file etc...........
