What is a Managed Database
and Why Use it?

A managed database is a cloud service where a database managed services provider takes care of everything—setup, updates, backups, security, and scaling. This means you don’t need to manage the technical side yourself. Unlike self-managed databases, managed databases let you save time and reduce risk by relying on experts to handle the hard work.

Use Cases Across Industries

E-commerce Platforms

Storing orders, customer data, and inventory.

SaaS Applications

Managing user accounts and app configurations.

Mobile Applications

Syncing data across devices and enabling offline access.

Analytics and BI

Storing and processing large datasets for real-time insights.​​

Fully Managed vs Self-Managed Databases

Are there limits to the number of databases or storage in your plans?

Each managed database cluster follows the selected pricing plan. Within a cluster, you can create unlimited databases, with total usage governed by your chosen resource allocation. You’re only limited by the resources tied to the tariff.

How is data security ensured with Hostman’s managed database services?

We follow strict security protocols. Only authorized users can access data via the Hostman control panel—no third-party interfaces required. All managed database services are hosted in Tier III data centers with compliance to ISO, PCI DSS, and GDPR standards. You can also add DDoS protection and private network configurations for sensitive data.

Is backup included in your managed database service?

Yes. You can perform manual or automated backups through the Hostman control panel—daily, weekly, or monthly. Our managed database services help you maintain full control over your data protection strategy.

Can I scale my managed databases easily?

Absolutely. Scaling resources up or down is done with just a few clicks. Unlike traditional setups, our managed database service allows fast vertical scaling via the control panel. Need to scale down? Our support team will assist immediately.

How can I monitor database performance?

The Hostman control panel includes real-time graphs for CPU usage, disk space, buffer activity, and more. Our managed database services include integrated monitoring to help optimize performance and capacity planning.

What management tools are available for database administration?

You can use popular tools like Adminer or phpMyAdmin, or manage everything directly via the Hostman control panel. Our platform enables user access control, parameter editing, resource planning, backup scheduling, IP whitelisting, and more.

Do you offer uptime guarantees for your managed databases?

Yes. We provide a 99.98% SLA for availability, backed by Tier III data centers, robust infrastructure, and a dedicated database managed services provider team. Your databases remain reliable and accessible at all times.

Do you support auto-scaling based on traffic or load?
