Do you offer PostgreSQL databases?

Introduction

Yes, you can use PostgreSQL on our VPS servers. This option is suitable for projects that need a more advanced database system, more environment control or specific server-side configuration.

In shared hosting, miHosting currently offers MySQL as the database system.

PostgreSQL and MySQL availability at miHosting

1. PostgreSQL is available on VPS servers

   A VPS gives you more flexibility to install, configure and manage additional services according to your application’s needs.

2. Shared hosting includes MySQL

   Shared hosting plans are designed mainly for projects such as:

   • WordPress.
   • Corporate websites.
   • Online stores.
   • PHP applications.
   • Blogs and content portals.

3. Review your application requirements

   Before buying, check whether your application strictly requires PostgreSQL or whether it works correctly with MySQL.

Useful tips

• If the application explicitly requires PostgreSQL, a VPS is the right path.
• If it works with MySQL, shared hosting is often enough.
• If you are migrating a project, confirm all database requirements first.
