Engines
Pick the database your application already speaks
Relational, document or in-memory. Each engine is deployed with sensible defaults, kept patched, and monitored, so you spend your time on queries rather than on the server underneath them.
-
MySQL hosting
Scalable MySQL hosting with automated backups and replication.
-
PostgreSQL hosting
High-performance PostgreSQL with advanced features and monitoring.
-
MongoDB hosting
NoSQL database hosting with sharding and replica sets.
-
Redis hosting
In-memory database hosting for caching, queues and real-time applications.
-
MariaDB hosting
A drop-in MySQL alternative for teams that prefer it, managed the same way.
-
Fully managed
Updates, maintenance and tuning are handled by our team on every engine.
Performance
Fast storage, dedicated resources
Database work is disk and memory bound long before it is CPU bound. Every instance runs on NVMe SSD storage with resources allocated to you, not shared out of a pool.

Backups and recovery
Backups you do not have to remember to take
A nightly snapshot on its own means losing everything since midnight. A snapshot plus a continuous write log means picking the exact minute before the mistake.
- Daily snapshot
- Continuous write log
- Restore point you choose

-
01
Automated daily
Every database type is backed up automatically each day. Nothing to schedule and nothing to script.
-
02
Point-in-time recovery
Roll back to a point in time rather than to yesterday's snapshot, so a bad migration costs minutes rather than a day.
-
03
Stored redundantly
Backups are held securely in multiple locations, so the copy is not sitting on the same disk as the original.
Day to day
Managed does not mean locked out
We handle patching, tuning and backups. You still get the panel, the graphs and the restore button, so you can see exactly what your instance is doing.
Overview
Every instance, on one screen
Resource use, network allocation, operating system and power controls, without opening a shell session.
- Live memory, CPU and disk use
- Reboot and rebuild in one click
- Network allocation and transfer counters
Instance overview
Metrics
See the query load, not just the bill
Network, CPU and disk throughput graphs over 30 minutes to a week, so a slow query shows up as a shape rather than a support ticket.
- Disk read and write throughput
- CPU over 30 minutes to one week
- Inbound and outbound traffic
Live graphs
Backups
Restore without raising a ticket
Daily backups appear here with their size and status. Restore is a button, and you can schedule an extra one before a risky migration.
- Automated daily backups listed with status
- Restore on demand
- Schedule an extra backup before a change

Access and security
Who can reach the database, and how
A database should not be open to the internet. Connections are encrypted, the environment sits behind a firewall, and access is controlled per user.
-
Encrypted connections
SSL-enabled database connections, so credentials and result sets are not readable on the wire.
-
Firewall-protected environment
The instance is not exposed to the open internet, and DDoS filtering sits in front of it.
-
UK data, GDPR-compliant
Data stays in the UK on GDPR-compliant infrastructure, with per-user credentials and permissions.
- Connection encryption
- SSL-enabled database connections
- Network
- Firewall-protected database environment
- Attack filtering
- DDoS protection included
- Access control
- Per-user credentials and permissions
- Data protection

UK data centre
Where it runs
Our own hardware, in the United Kingdom
These are not resold cloud instances. The nodes are ours, in UK facilities, which is why we can put dedicated resources behind a database rather than a slice of a shared pool.
-
Data stays in the UK
GDPR-compliant infrastructure, with the data resident where your customers expect it to be.
-
Filtered before it arrives
Every instance sits behind the same always-on DDoS filtering as the rest of the platform.
-
Managed by the people who own it
Patching, tuning and hardware faults are handled by the same UK team you raise a ticket with.
