PostgreSQL is an advanced relational database management system, which you can use on many platforms (UNIX, Linux, FreeBSD, OpenSolaris, Windows) and with a variety of scripting languages (Perl, PHP, Python, Java, Ruby). As it is open-source, it could be easily modified to suit the needs of any developer who uses it. PostgreSQL is also among the most reliable and stable database systems, with significantly better functionality in managing complicated operations when compared with similar systems. It is ideal for large-scale applications because a single PostgreSQL database does not have a limit for the size, while a single table may be up to 32 GB. It is not surprising that a number of business, academic and government entities are already employing PostgreSQL - Skype, the University of California, Berkeley and the US Department of Labor being just a few examples.

PostgreSQL 8.3 Databases in Shared Hosting

You may use apps that need PostgreSQL databases with every shared hosting plan that we offer you. The number of databases you can have at one time varies and with some packages you will need to get an extra upgrade, while with others the number is between 5 and unlimited as standard. Provided you ever require more databases compared to what the plan you've chosen offers, you could upgrade this feature from the Upgrades section of your Control Panel. In case you have a free slot, you can create a new PostgreSQL database with a few clicks inside the Databases section of your account and from the same spot you could also access phpPgAdmin - a feature-rich software tool that will offer you 100 % control over all your databases and it will permit you to export or import an entire database or only part of it easily.

PostgreSQL 8.3 Databases in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you acquire a semi-dedicated server plan from our company, you shall be able to create and handle PostgreSQL databases easily and as part of the default set of services, not as a paid upgrade. Any sort of script-driven app that requires this kind of a database will run perfectly as we use a cloud hosting platform and the databases run on a separate cluster of web servers, not on the same machine where you will have your website files and e-mail messages. That way, the efficiency of your sites will increase significantly as only one kind of processes shall run on the web servers. Using our custom Hepsia Control Panel, you'll be able to log in to any PostgreSQL database which you have in the account with the popular phpPgAdmin admin client. The latter will enable you to export, import or change any part of the database using a web-based graphic interface.
