Why Host Your Database on OMC Cloud

Database performance is bottlenecked by storage speed. Spinning disks and IOPS limits cripple query performance. Managed database services charge per query, per connection, or per GB — costs become unpredictable at scale. And you lose the ability to tune your database engine.

OMC Cloud provides NVMe SSDs with zero IOPS limits — your queries run at storage bus speed. Full root access means you tune my.cnf, postgresql.conf, or redis.conf exactly how your workload demands. Automated daily backups with 14 restore points protect your data. Set up primary-replica replication across data centers for high availability.

Key Benefits

NVMe — Zero IOPS Limits

Fastest possible query performance. No artificial throughput caps like managed services.

Full Tuning Control

Root access to optimize my.cnf, postgresql.conf, redis.conf. No locked-down managed configs.

Any Database Engine

MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, Redis, MongoDB, CockroachDB, ClickHouse, TimescaleDB — your choice.

14 Backup Points

Automated daily backups with one-click recovery. Never lose more than 24 hours of data.

Replication Ready

Set up primary-replica across multiple data centers for high availability and read scaling.

Predictable Pricing

Fixed monthly cost. No per-query, per-connection, or per-GB surprise charges.

Query Monitoring

Full access to slow query logs, EXPLAIN plans, and performance metrics. No dashboard limitations.

24/7 DBA-Level Support

Database issues at 3am? Our team understands MySQL locks, PostgreSQL vacuum, and Redis memory tuning.

Database Hosting: Self-Managed VPS vs Managed DBaaS

Feature	OMC Cloud	Managed DBaaS (RDS/PlanetScale)	Shared Hosting DB
Query Speed	NVMe, zero IOPS limits	Good but IOPS-capped	Very slow, shared disk
Tuning Control	Full root, edit config files	Limited parameters only	Zero control
Pricing	Fixed monthly	Per-connection, per-GB, per-query	Included but limited
Replication	DIY across any DC	Managed but expensive add-on	Not available
Backup	14 points, snapshots	Managed but costs extra	Basic or none
Database Choice	Any engine, any version	Limited selection	MySQL only usually
Extensions	Install any: PostGIS, pgvector, etc.	Limited	None

Recommended Configurations

Frequently Asked Questions

Which database engines can I run on OMC Cloud?+

Any engine that runs on Linux: MySQL 8, PostgreSQL 16, MariaDB, Redis 7, MongoDB 7, CockroachDB, ClickHouse, TimescaleDB, CassandraDB, and more. Full root access means any version, any extension.

How fast are database queries on NVMe?+

NVMe SSDs provide sequential reads of 3-7 GB/s and random IOPS in the hundreds of thousands — orders of magnitude faster than spinning disks. Combined with sufficient RAM for indexes, most queries complete in under 1ms.

Can I install pgvector for AI embeddings?+

Yes. Full root access means you can install any PostgreSQL extension including pgvector, PostGIS, TimescaleDB, and pg_stat_statements.

How do backups work for databases?+

14 automated daily snapshots at the server level. For point-in-time recovery, also configure WAL archiving (PostgreSQL) or binary log (MySQL) on top of server snapshots.

Can I set up database replication?+

Yes. Deploy primary and replica servers in different data centers. Configure streaming replication (PostgreSQL), master-slave (MySQL), or Redis Sentinel yourself with full root access.

How much RAM do I need?+

Rule of thumb: your active indexes plus working set should fit in RAM. For a 10 GB database with 2 GB of indexes, 8 GB RAM is comfortable. For analytics on 100+ GB, consider 64 GB+.

Is this cheaper than AWS RDS or PlanetScale?+

Significantly. A 4 vCPU / 16 GB RAM database server on OMC Cloud is $32/mo fixed. Equivalent RDS instance is $150-300/mo plus storage and I/O charges.

Can I run multiple databases on one server?+

Yes. Run MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Redis on the same VPS. Common pattern for small-to-medium applications that need all three.
