create database privileges

i am currently working on a site where users signing up for a new account require a new mysql database to be generated with their account. i was surprised to find out how difficult this is. having code create a table is fine but i have not yet found a host that will let you create a database with code (it requires privileges not given). many offer unlimited databases but db creation has to be done through a control panel which is useless for sites requiring automated database set-up for new users.

has anyone else had this problem and can offer advice or a solution? many thanks.

Maybe try a virtual server rather than a shared hosting plan? The you can install MySQL and have complete control over it.
