VPS Hosting for Databases
Databases are only as fast as the disk underneath them and only as safe as the storage they sit on. VeloxMedia runs every VPS on distributed, replicated NVMe, so the random reads and writes a database generates hit low-latency flash while your data is mirrored across the cluster. Combine that with dedicated vCPU, up to 32 GB of RAM and full root access, and you can run PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, Redis or SQL Server exactly the way you tune it.
Every plan includes a dedicated IPv4, unmetered data transfer and on-demand snapshots, so replication traffic, nightly dumps and point-in-time restores never trigger a surprise bill. Deploy a new database server in about 60 seconds from the portal, install your engine with a one-click OS image or your own packages, and scale from a small cache node to an 8 vCPU, 32 GB primary as your workload grows. Plans start at $5 per month with no setup fees.
- Distributed replicated NVMe storage for fast, durable database I/O
- Full root or administrator access to install and tune any engine
- Snapshots and backups for safe migrations and point-in-time recovery
- Clustered high availability with automatic failover and no single point of failure
- Unmetered data transfer and a dedicated IPv4 on every plan
- Deploy in 60 seconds from $5/mo with no setup fees
Storage built for database I/O
Transactional databases live and die on storage performance. Every VeloxMedia server uses NVMe SSD backed by distributed, replicated storage, so the random reads and writes databases generate hit low-latency flash instead of slower disk. Because storage is replicated across the cluster with no single point of failure, a failed drive or host does not take your data with it. Write-ahead logs, index rebuilds and checkpoint flushes all run against NVMe, which keeps query latency predictable under concurrent load.
Right-sized plans for every database workload
Six uniform plans scale from a lightweight cache or dev database to a memory-heavy production primary, and you can move up a tier as your data grows: Micro: 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 20 GB NVMe. A Redis cache or a small Postgres dev instance. Small: 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 40 GB NVMe. A staging database or a low-traffic application backend. Medium: 4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, 80 GB NVMe. A production MySQL or PostgreSQL for a growing application. Plus: 4 vCPU, 12 GB RAM, 120 GB NVMe. More buffer pool for read-heavy queries and larger working sets. Pro: 6 vCPU, 16 GB RAM, 160 GB NVMe. A busy primary handling many concurrent connections. Max: 8 vCPU, 32 GB RAM, 200 GB NVMe. Large datasets, analytical queries and high concurrency. Pricing is in USD from $5 per month, Amsterdam from $6, with no setup fees. Choose annual billing and two months are free.
Full control to install and tune any engine
You get full root on Linux or administrator on Windows Server, so nothing about your database is locked down by the platform. Install Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, Fedora, CentOS or Alpine for PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB or Redis, or run Windows Server for SQL Server. Start from a clean one-click OS install, then tune shared buffers, connection limits, WAL settings and kernel parameters to match your workload. Lock the database port to your application servers with firewall rules, set reverse DNS on your dedicated IPv4, and if a configuration change ever locks you out, boot into rescue mode to fix it. A browser-based console gives you VNC, SSH or RDP access even before networking is up.
Protect your data with snapshots, backups and failover
Take a snapshot before every schema migration or major version upgrade and roll back in minutes if something goes wrong. Scheduled and on-demand backups give the data itself a second line of defense. Underneath, the platform runs clustered high availability with automatic failover and fully redundant power, network and replicated storage, so a single hardware fault does not become an outage. When a host needs maintenance, zero-downtime live migration moves your running server to healthy hardware without dropping connections, so patching the platform never means scheduling database downtime.
Deploy database servers close to your users
Latency between an application and its database matters, so place your server in the region nearest your app. VeloxMedia is live in London, Amsterdam, US East in Ohio and US West in California, with Warsaw, Montreal and Utah coming soon. Run a primary in one region and spin up a read replica in another in about 60 seconds. Built-in CPU, memory and bandwidth graphs show when a query pattern is saturating cores or when your working set has outgrown RAM, and vulnerability monitoring flags known issues on the host. Pay through secure hosted card checkout and reach support 24/7 from the customer portal, where every deploy, snapshot and rebuild action lives.
VPS Hosting for Databases questions
Which databases can I run on a VeloxMedia VPS?
Any database you can install yourself. With full root on Linux you can run PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, Redis and similar engines on Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, Fedora, CentOS or Alpine. Choose Windows Server if you need SQL Server. There is no managed-service restriction: you control the version, configuration and extensions.
Is NVMe storage fast enough for a production database?
Yes. Every plan uses NVMe SSD on distributed, replicated storage, which suits the random read and write pattern transactional databases generate. Because storage is replicated across the cluster with no single point of failure, you get both the speed of flash and protection against drive or host failure.
How do I back up and protect my data?
Use snapshots to capture the whole server before migrations or upgrades and restore quickly if needed, and schedule backups for ongoing protection. At the infrastructure level, clustered high availability with automatic failover and redundant power, network and replicated storage keeps your database online through hardware faults, and zero-downtime live migration moves running servers off hardware that needs maintenance.
How much RAM does my database need, and can I upgrade later?
It depends on your working set. A cache or dev database runs comfortably on 2 to 4 GB, while a busy production primary benefits from 16 to 32 GB so more of your indexes and hot data stay in memory. Plans scale from Micro at 1 vCPU and 2 GB to Max at 8 vCPU and 32 GB, and you can move up a tier as your dataset grows. Pricing starts at $5 per month with no setup fees.
