Database hosting: fast and data-sovereign
User accounts, transactions, product data: almost every application stands or falls with the database behind it. As the number of users grows, so do the demands on database and hosting platform: slow queries, high latency or limited infrastructure resources slow software down if the platform cannot keep pace with growth – centron provides computing power, high-performance storage and high availability from a German data centre.
- Database hosting for SaaS, web applications and e-commerce – user accounts, transactions, product data and API requests processed reliably.
- For PostgreSQL, MySQL and other databases – SQL Server, MariaDB, Redis, MongoDB or time series databases on cloud infrastructure with NVMe storage.
- Flexible hosting solutions from a German data centre – full control over the database, C5 Type 1-attested infrastructure, no third-country transfer.
- Operation on request – managed servers with personal operational support as an alternative to database-as-a-service offerings.
What good database hosting looks like
Whether SaaS platform, web application or e-commerce system: response times are decided at the database.
NVMe instead of network storage
Databases are I/O heavy. Local NVMe storage in ccloud³ instances delivers the latency that makes queries fast – without a detour through a storage network.
Full control over the instance
PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB or something more specialised: you choose version, configuration and extensions yourself instead of adapting to a fixed managed offering.
Grow without migrating
Block storage from €0.05 per GB per month can be added as data grows. CPU and RAM scale with the instance – no migration to a new server.
Operations on request
If you would rather not maintain the database yourself, take it as a Managed Server from €53.11 per month – including updates, monitoring and backups.
Where database hosting strengthens your software projects
Databases are decisive wherever applications must be permanently available, process many queries and reliably deliver sensitive data – the building blocks: ccloud³ virtual machines, block storage with NVMe for high IOPS, Kubernetes for database-related applications and managed servers as an alternative to database as a service; basics on distribution and root access under Linux hosting.
SaaS platforms
Multi-tenancy, user management, billing and API access generate continuous database load. With ccloud³, SaaS databases can be flexibly aligned to growth, new features and rising user numbers – more on SaaS hosting.
Web platforms and portals
Customer portals, booking systems and digital services need fast database queries in ongoing operation. A scalable hosting platform ensures that content, user actions and transactions are processed reliably – backends on web & mobile apps.
E-commerce applications
Product data, shopping carts, orders and customer data must remain stably available even during traffic peaks. High-performance database hosting supports short loading times and reliable purchasing processes – infrastructure for e-commerce.
Business software
CRM, ERP and custom software process business-critical data. With centron, companies get a controllable database platform for applications where security, availability and data sovereignty are decisive.
From a single instance to a cluster
For small applications one instance with enough RAM for the database cache is sufficient. As load grows, read replicas or a cluster follow – on Managed Kubernetes you can run database operators that handle failover and backups. What matters is that the path from the first instance to a cluster stays open without switching platform.

What matters in database hosting?
Database hosting comes down to fast storage, enough memory for the cache and the ability to grow without migrating. The core building blocks are ccloud³ Virtual Machines from €3.11 per month with local NVMe storage; if you prefer to hand over operations, the Managed Server starts at €53.11 per month, and Managed Kubernetes from €29.99 per month covers cluster setups. The infrastructure runs in our own German data centres, certified to ISO 27001 based on IT-Grundschutz (BSI certificate BSI-IGZ-0773) and with an unqualified BSI C5:2020 Type 1 attestation. New accounts receive €200 in starting credit.
