Our app connects to multiple mysql databases. We are looking into cloud hosting solutions as an option versus a dedicated server. We've looked into PHP Fog, but they do not support multiple databases for one app. Anyone in a similar situation that have found a solution?

Every hosting provider that I've ever used (shared, vps, etc) allows you to set up more than one MySQL database. Can you clarify your requirements? – Nic Feb 5 at 17:47
So let me get this straight, StackOverflow says this is the site for this question... SO WHY WAS THIS CLOSED FOR BEING OFF TOPIC?! The question is in regards to Cloud hosting. Not shared or VPS. – Allan Feb 7 at 5:51

@Allan Your requirement is pretty unclear, as Nic mentioned - you'll need to be more specific about what exactly you need and why existing hosts can't help you. The way this is worded, it comes across as a "Product or service recommendation" question, which are not allowed per the faq. – Shane Madden Feb 7 at 7:15
Thanks for the clarification Shane. It does come down to a service recommendation. – Allan Feb 7 at 16:08

Questions on Server Fault are expected to generally relate to servers, networking, or desktop infrastructure, within the scope defined in the faq.

The Zend Solution Pack on RightScale offers a PHP PAAS with a flexible architecture. I don't know the details of what you're looking to do, but I know that it can handle various DBs, multiple DBs for sharding, etc. It's intended, though, for larger applications with multiple application servers under load balance. From your question it looks like you might be looking at a smaller infrastructure.
