SQL Hosting

This lesson is part of SQL · All levels

Summary

SQL hosting is a third-party managed database storage service, including MySQL hosting and managed cloud services. The service takes care of installation, backup, security, and scalability so it's suitable for applications that don't want to manage their own servers. The selection needs to take into account capacity, performance, backup, and security.

Key points

SQL hosting means renting a database run space to a provider.
Common options: shared hosting, VPS, and managed cloud databases.
Consider performance, storage capacity, backup schedule, and security support.
Cloud managed services often provide automated replication and scalability.
The database credentials should be kept secure, not committed to the code repository.
