PostgreSQL is an innovative relational database control system, which can be used on a number of platforms (UNIX, Linux, FreeBSD, OpenSolaris, Windows) and with various scripting languages (Perl, PHP, Python, Java, Ruby). Since it is open-source, it can be freely modified to fit the demands of any developer who uses it. PostgreSQL is also amongst the the most trusted and secure database systems, with far better performance in managing sophisticated procedures compared to similar systems. It is suitable for large-scale applications as a single PostgreSQL database does not have a limit for the size, while one table could be up to 32 GB. It's not a surprise that many business, educational and government entities are already using PostgreSQL - Skype, the University of California, Berkeley and the US Department of Labor being a few examples.
PostgreSQL 8.3 Databases in Shared Hosting
You could use applications which need PostgreSQL databases with every single Linux shared hosting we offer you. The amount of databases you can have at a time varies and with some plans you'll have to acquire an additional upgrade, while with others the amount is between 5 and unlimited as standard. Provided you ever require more databases compared to what the package you've selected includes, you can upgrade this feature via the Upgrades section of your CP. Provided you have a free slot, you can create a new PostgreSQL database with a few mouse clicks in the Databases section of your account and in the same location you may also access phpPgAdmin - a feature-rich software tool that will provide you with full control over all your databases and it shall permit you to export or import a whole database or only part of it easily.
PostgreSQL 8.3 Databases in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you purchase a semi-dedicated server plan from our company, you shall be able to set up and handle PostgreSQL databases without difficulty and as part of the default set of services, not as a paid upgrade. Any script-driven application that requires this sort of a database will run flawlessly as we use a cloud hosting platform and the databases run on another cluster of servers, not on the same machine where you will have your website files and email messages. This way, the overall performance of your websites will increase tremendously as only one type of processes will 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 inside the account with the popular phpPgAdmin administration client. The latter will permit you to export, import or change any section of the database via a web-based graphic interface.
