PostgreSQL Cloud Hosting
Why deploy PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, or MS SQL databases at Open Hosting?
Fast DiskUnder normal operating conditions, server disk I/O will be comparable to dedicated hardware equipped with SATA drives and configured for RAID 1+0. |

Affordable DiskWe use new Dell hardware. Nothing exotic. This directly benefits our clients by keeping our disk storage affordable. |
CPU and CoresWe allow you to control the core allocation of your server, which is a key tool to database tuning. Database performance is often processor/core-bound. Subscribe to 4GHz of CPU and you can divide your CPU cycles over as many as 8 cores. In practice, this allows you to tailor your server for concurrent transactions or intensive analytic operations. |

VLANFor all server-to-server communications, you should use VLANs. Our VLANs are fast, cheap, unmetered, secure, and travel a network physically distinct from public traffic. This makes clustering, backups, and all server-to- server communications secure, fast, and cheap. |
No Mysterious Data CorruptionFor their storage, some of our competitors employ exotic solutions in order to enjoy economies of scale. And, speaking from direct experience, these technologies can corrupt the data files of databases. We’ve seen this mostly with indexes. This is some ugly business and we promise no mysterious, platform-induced corruption. |

SimplicityLike traditional hardware, our platform can be understood using familiar terms: servers, drives, IP addresses, public networks, and private networks. This familiar vocabulary along with a simple paradigm keeps the transition to our platform easy. |
Dedicated Virtual HostsFor very large and very demanding deployments, please contact us to inquire about our dedicated virtual host options. |

We are Database NerdsWe run PostgreSQL ourselves; this website, our cloud platform, and our VPS platform are all backed by PostgreSQL. |
