Managed Databases

A managed database is a database service where the provider handles setup, updates, backups, and monitoring for you. This lets you focus on your application instead of database administration.

A managed database includes automatic maintenance, updates, backups, and monitoring handled by the provider, while an unmanaged database requires you to manage everything yourself. Managed options save time and reduce operational risk, whereas unmanaged databases offer more control and lower cost.

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.

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.
