Questions about MariaDB Database Hosting
We've put our frequently asked questions right here, so you have your answers before you even start.
Still have questions or just want to chat?
How do I connect my app to MariaDB?
Deploy your database, create a database and a user, and copy the connection URL into your app: easy as that!
Are connections encrypted?
TLS is available. MariaDB's own clients use it automatically; other drivers may need it switched on.
Which apps and libraries work with it?
Anything that speaks MariaDB, like the MariaDB command-line client and Node.js apps using mysql2.
Can I move my existing database to FPS.ms?
Yes. Dumps made with mariadb-dump import with the MariaDB client, so you can bring your tables and data with you.
Is MariaDB the same as MySQL?
MariaDB started as a copy of MySQL, and most apps and libraries made for MySQL, like mysql2 for Node.js, work with it.
Is this a VPS?
No, FPS.ms does not offer VPS hosting. Your database runs in a container managed by FPS.ms. This means you never have to update its operating system, install security patches or keep the machine running yourself.
How does the free plan work?
A free database has to be renewed every day to stay online, and at least once every 28 days to keep its data. More details on the Free MariaDB Database page.
How much memory does my database need?
Small projects run fine on our free plan. For apps with daily users, 512 MB to 1 GB of memory is the sweet spot. Need more? Contact us for a custom plan.
Do paid plans include backups?
Yes, every paid plan from 256 MB includes a backup slot, and you can restore it from the panel.
