Managed PostgreSQL

PostgreSQL is one of the most widely used open-source databases, trusted for its reliability, scalability, and strong community support. It’s suitable for everything from small apps to high-load enterprise systems, and it runs efficiently on Hostman’s high-performance cloud infrastructure.

You can launch your PostgreSQL instance directly from the Hostman Control Panel in just a few clicks. There’s no need for hardware investment or hiring database administrators—you can create, configure, and manage the database yourself, and our team is available to assist with migration if needed.

We support the most stable and commonly used PostgreSQL versions—14, 15, 16, 17 and 18. These versions are regularly updated to ensure compatibility, performance, and security.

All PostgreSQL databases on Hostman run on modern server-grade hardware, including the latest Intel and AMD CPUs and ultra-fast NVMe SSDs. Network speeds reach 200 Mbps, and up to 1 Gbps in private networks, ensuring fast query execution and high responsiveness under load.

PostgreSQL on Hostman is hosted in Tier III data centers and backed by international security standards: ISO, PCI DSS, and GDPR. Access is limited to your authorized team members. PostgreSQL also features MVCC (Multi-Version Concurrency Control), where users work in isolated snapshots until transactions are committed—enhancing both performance and data protection.

You can manage PostgreSQL via popular tools like Adminer, or directly in the Hostman Control Panel, where you can:

• Monitor load and resource usage,
• Manage users and permissions,
• Configure database settings,
• Enable extensions,
• Create backups,
• Change plans and IP access with ease.

Yes—PostgreSQL databases are fully scalable. You can increase CPU, RAM, and storage at any time via the Hostman Control Panel. If you need to scale down to optimize costs, our support team is happy to assist.

You can create backups manually or schedule automatic backups daily, weekly, or monthly via the Hostman Control Panel. This ensures your data is protected and can be restored instantly if needed.

Hostman offers 24/7 expert support via live chat, email, and WhatsApp. We respond in minutes—no queues, no waiting for escalations. Our support engineers are ready to resolve PostgreSQL issues quickly and professionally.

Spinning up a PostgreSQL cluster with Hostman is simple and quick:

1. Log in to your Hostman account: Access your dashboard.

3. Configure your cluster: Specify the number of nodes, choose a data center location, and adjust resource allocation (CPU, RAM, storage).

4. Deploy: Once the configuration is complete, deploy the PostgreSQL cluster with a single click.

5. Manage: Use Hostman’s control panel to manage your PostgreSQL cluster, scale resources, or perform backups as needed.

The process is optimized for ease, so you can have a high-performance database cluster up and running in minutes.
