Managed MySQL

MySQL hosting is a service that provides infrastructure and tools to run and manage MySQL databases online. It can be shared, VPS-based, or fully managed, depending on the level of control and automation you need.

You can manage MySQL hosting through a control panel, SSH access, or a managed service dashboard to handle users, backups, updates, and performance. For easier management, Hostman offers paid backups, monitoring, and security tools.

We support the two most popular and reliable versions: MySQL 5.7 and MySQL 8. These are trusted by developers worldwide and are fully optimized for cloud environments—whether you're running a small project or a production-grade application.

Hostman's MySQL databases run on top-tier Intel and AMD servers with lightning-fast NVMe storage. You’ll get data transfer speeds of 100–200 Mbps, and up to 1 Gbps inside private networks—perfect for anything from websites with steady traffic to demanding apps that need high-speed access and stability.
