Database hosting: fast and sovereign

User accounts, transactions, product data: almost every application stands or falls with the database behind it.

Why centron

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 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 53,12 € per month – including updates, monitoring and backups.

From risk analysis to operations

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.

In brief

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 3,12 € per month with local NVMe storage; if you prefer to hand over operations, the Managed Server starts at 53,12 € 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.

Frequently asked questions

Which databases can be operated?

Any that run on a Linux server – PostgreSQL, MySQL and MariaDB are the most common, as are Redis, MongoDB or time series databases such as InfluxDB and TimescaleDB. Because you control the instance yourself, you are not tied to a fixed offering and choose version and configuration freely.

How much memory does my database need?

As a rule of thumb the database cache should fit into memory – with PostgreSQL and MySQL a quarter to a half of RAM is often reserved for it. What matters is not the total database size but the portion accessed regularly. Our team helps with sizing.

What happens when the data grows?

Block storage can be added from 0,05 € per GB without changing the instance. If CPU and RAM run short, the instance is resized. Only when a single machine is no longer enough does the step to replicas or a cluster pay off – Managed Kubernetes is ready for that.
