Overview

MySQL VPS

Running MySQL (or MariaDB) on a dedicated Linux VPS gives your database its own CPU, RAM and NVMe storage — ideal for app backends that have outgrown shared hosting or need consistent performance.

With full root you tune the database for your workload (buffer pool, connections, indexes), secure it behind a firewall, and scale the VPS as your data and queries grow.

FAQ

MySQL VPS — frequently asked questions

Yes. With full root you can install and tune MySQL or MariaDB on a Linux VPS, giving your app a dedicated database server with its own CPU, RAM and NVMe storage.

It depends on your dataset and query load. 2 GB suits small apps; 4 GB or more is better for larger datasets or higher concurrency, since MySQL benefits from RAM for caching.

Both are compatible and run well on a VPS. MariaDB is a popular drop-in fork; choose based on your app’s requirements and your preference.

Most Linux VPS plans are provisioned within minutes of ordering. You receive your IP and root SSH credentials by email and can install MySQL right away.

Yes. Your Linux VPS stays powered on 24/7, so MySQL and any services keep running after you close your SSH session.
