Managed databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL and Valkey

A setup with 2 vCPU, 4GB memory and 50GB NVMe is $25.00 per month. 8GB is $45.00 and 16GB is $85.00, and managed MySQL starts at $25.00 for 4GB. Daily automatic backups and TLS-encrypted connections are included in every size, so the amount in the table is the full monthly price.

With managed, the service handles installing, configuring and daily backups, and you connect with an address and work only with your data. Installing it yourself on a VPS lets you decide every setting, but you also handle updates, backups and disk management yourself, so if you want to focus on app development, managed is easier. The smaller the service, the more this time saving shows.

If the app you want to use specifies an engine, choosing that engine is best. WordPress and many PHP apps are built for MySQL, and for new services that handle lots of complex queries or JSON data, PostgreSQL fits well. Both engines have the same prices and sizes, so your choice of engine does not change the cost.

Valkey is an open source store that keeps data in memory and reads and writes it quickly by key and value. It uses Redis-style commands and connections as they are, so most apps using Redis clients connect by changing just the address, and it is widely used for caches, sessions and job queues. It starts at $25.00 per month for 4GB.

Every managed database is backed up automatically every day. If you deleted data by mistake or need to undo a bad change, request a restore on the support page once your first payment is confirmed. Before important work, taking one more export from the app side gives extra peace of mind. There is no separate backup fee.

Yes, connections between your app and the database are encrypted with TLS. Data is protected while it travels over the network, and connecting uses each database's own username and password. It is best to keep passwords outside your code, for example in your app's environment variables. Keep your app servers in the same region for faster connections too.

Start small websites and development use at 4GB, and move to a bigger size as users and data grow. Responses get faster when frequently read data fits in memory, so choose among 8GB and 16GB based on data size and concurrent connections. With each size, vCPU and NVMe storage grow too.

Pay by invoice to buy managed databases. The first month is charged, and you can renew it monthly at the same price. Refunds go to your account credit. Use it month by month and change size when needed.

If you don't pay the invoice by the billing date, the database is suspended, and you can renew it by paying within 3 days. If there is still no payment after 3 days, the database and its data are deleted, so check your invoice before the billing date and export important data separately. You can check your next billing date in the control panel.

Yes, export with standard tools such as pg_dump for PostgreSQL or mysqldump for MySQL and load the file into the new database. If the data is large or you are unsure of the order, ask on the support page once your first payment is confirmed. After moving, just point the app's connection address to the new database.
