Database hosting runs databases such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB or Redis for you as a managed service. The provider handles installation, upgrades, backups, replication and monitoring, so your team can focus on the application rather than on keeping the database alive.
Managed databases cost more than running one yourself on a VPS, but they reduce the risk of data loss and downtime. Look closely at how backups and point-in-time recovery work, how the service scales when your data grows, and whether the database runs in the same region as your app, because distance between app and database adds delay to every request.
How to choose
- Pick the engine and version you need and check upgrade policies.
- Check point-in-time recovery and how long backups are kept.
- Look at high availability options such as replicas and automatic failover.
- Run the database in the same region as your app.
- Check connection limits and pooling.
- Understand pricing for storage, I/O and data transfer.
- Plan your exit. Make sure you can export your data and move elsewhere without lock-in fees.
Frequently asked questions
Is a managed database better than self-hosting?
It saves operations work and usually improves reliability, at a higher monthly cost.
What is point-in-time recovery?
The ability to restore your database to any moment within a retention window, not only to the last nightly backup.
Can I export my data from a managed database?
Most services allow standard dumps; confirm this before you commit to avoid lock-in.
