Why us

Why choose database hosting?

The same UK team for hosting, servers and co-location — from a private facility we operate ourselves.

  • 01

    Cost-effective

    Much cheaper than hiring a server admin or buying your own hardware — rack, switches, backup power and the rest.

  • 02

    Grows with you

    Upgrade your package whenever you need more, so the plan can grow as the business does.

  • 03

    Self-owned data centre

    We own the facility in Colchester, so there is no third-party data centre between you and the hardware.

  • 04

    99.9% uptime

    A 99.9% network service guarantee with our providers, so the connection stays as steady as we can make it.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What database types do you support?
Every plan can run MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, MongoDB or SQL Server 2022 Standard. You choose the engine when you customise. We can also accommodate other database types for enterprise customers — contact us for more information.
How do I connect to my database?
After your database is provisioned, you'll receive connection details via email. Single-instance plans use one dedicated IP. High-availability plans use a shared VIP so the address stays the same during failover. Connect with a standard database client, command line tools, or your application.
Can I migrate my existing database to your platform?
Yes, we offer database migration services to help you move your data from another provider to our platform. Our team can assist with planning and executing the migration with minimal downtime.
How do backups work?
Starter, Standard and Business include daily backups with 7-day retention. At checkout you can extend retention in 7-day steps up to 28 days, at £5 per month per extra week. Enterprise includes hourly backups with 28-day retention.
Do you offer high availability setups?
Yes. Starter, Standard and Business can add a high-availability pair (replica plus automatic failover) or a three-node synchronous cluster at checkout. Failover uses a shared VIP so applications keep the same address. Enterprise includes the multi-node cluster by default.
What kind of performance can I expect?
All our database hosting solutions run on high-performance SSD hardware. The exact performance depends on your chosen plan and workload characteristics.
How do you handle database security?
Every plan can sit behind no extra firewall, our managed cluster firewall (you add your own rules), or a dedicated self-managed Cisco appliance. We also use SSL for connections, automatic security patches, and IP-based access restrictions. Enterprise plans include additional security features like VPN access and encryption at rest.
Can I scale my database resources?
Yes, you can easily upgrade your storage, RAM, or CPU resources as your needs grow. Most scaling operations can be performed with minimal or no downtime.
