I know for a fact that they aren't hosted on the same box, and every time I've requested information regarding remote MySQL, and I've received no information. Considering my support ticket directly requesting information on this matter mysteriously disappeared, I'm going to guess that the security risks aren't worth divulging that information.
I'll try a different host, I made a website for a friend a few months ago, that site is still up, I don't think he'll mind me using a little bit of space.
