Which engines can I deploy?
PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, Redis and MongoDB. Pick the engine your app expects; each runs on its own dedicated instance.
● Managed Databases — from $10/mo
Managed PostgreSQL hosting on its own instance.
From $10/mo, five engines.
PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, Redis or MongoDB, each on its own resources and reachable privately from day one.
- 5 engines supported
- Private networking by default
- Credentials generated for you
In short
Hostwares managed databases give you PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, Redis or MongoDB on a dedicated instance from $10/mo, reachable privately from your sites, with credentials and a connection string generated on create. It is for apps that need a production database next to their frontend or API without renting a whole server, and for vibe-coded apps moving off a builder's bundled database. What is different: one pack is one dedicated instance (no shared cluster), the price is the pack size rather than rows or connections, and HW - the Hostwares AI DevOps agent - can create the database, set DATABASE_URL on the right site and diagnose it from chat, CLI or MCP.
Everything you need
From GitHub to live URL — build, ship, and scale without stitching services.
Five engines
PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, Redis and MongoDB. Pick the engine your app expects instead of bending your app around ours.
Private by default
Databases sit on a private network alongside your sites. Nothing is exposed to the public internet unless you ask for it.
Connection strings that work
Credentials and a ready-to-paste connection string are generated on creation - set it on your site with one command.
Dedicated resources
Your database gets its own CPU, RAM and SSD from the pack you choose. No noisy neighbours on a shared cluster.
Status and logs
See engine state, restart when you need to, and read logs without opening a support ticket.
Wired up by HW
Ask our AI to create a database and set DATABASE_URL on the right site - from the dashboard, the CLI, or Claude and Cursor over MCP.
How it works
- 1
Choose an engine
PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, Redis or MongoDB - whichever your stack expects.
- 2
Pick a database pack
Choose the CPU, RAM and disk it needs. One pack runs one database, so cost is predictable.
- 3
Connect your app
Copy the generated connection string into your site's environment variables and redeploy. Both sides are already on the same private network.
Self-managed by design
You get root-level control of your own instance — and you own its configuration, updates, tuning and data. Hostwares keeps the infrastructure (server, network, SSL, provisioning) healthy; we don't configure your app, debug your code or tune your database for you. Instead of waiting on support, use HW, our AI DevOps: it can deploy, read logs, run backups and restores, apply migrations and manage your services from the dashboard or CLI.

Questions people ask
How much does a managed database cost?
Database packs start at $10/mo. Each pack is a fixed amount of CPU, RAM and disk for one database, billed by invoice monthly or for a longer term - not by rows, connections or queries. There is no free tier.
All database packs Need Auth and Storage too? Compare Supabase
Can my site reach the database privately?
Yes. Sites and databases in your account share a private network, so traffic never leaves our infrastructure and you do not need to expose a public port.
How do I get the connection string?
It is generated when the database is created and available in the dashboard, the hw CLI, and via the API. HW can also set it directly on a site for you.
Should I pick a managed database or self-hosted Supabase?
Pick a managed database when your app only needs Postgres (or MySQL, Redis, MongoDB). Pick a dedicated Supabase instance when it also uses Supabase Auth, Storage, Realtime or Studio - that is one instance with the full stack.
Can I move a Lovable or Replit app's database here?
Yes. Dump the existing database, restore it into the new one and point the app's DATABASE_URL (or Supabase URL) at it. The guides walk through each builder.
Host a Lovable app outside Lovable Replit app to your own server
What happens when the database runs out of room?
Move to a larger pack; upgrades are prorated and the resize keeps your data. Status, restart and logs are in the dashboard, and HW can diagnose a connection problem for you.
Can an AI agent create and connect a database?
Yes. Over MCP, Claude Code or Cursor can create a database on your account, read its status and set the connection string on a site. Paid actions return an approval link first.
