PostgreSQL is a high level relational database administration system, that you can use on a number of platforms (UNIX, Linux, FreeBSD, OpenSolaris, Windows) and with a number of scripting languages (Perl, PHP, Python, Java, Ruby). Because it's open-source, it could be easily modified to fit the requirements of any developer who employs it. PostgreSQL is also amongst the the most dependable and stable database systems, with better performance in handling sophisticated operations compared with similar systems. It is ideal for large-scale applications since a single PostgreSQL database does not have a limit for the size, while one table can be up to 32 Gigabytes. It isn't surprising that many business, educational and government organizations are already using PostgreSQL - Skype, the University of California, Berkeley and the US Department of Labor being just a couple of examples.
PostgreSQL 8.3 Databases in Shared Hosting
All our shared hosting plans include PostgreSQL support, so you will be able to work with every script app that requires this kind of a database. When using the lower-end plans, creating a PostgreSQL database is an optional upgrade, while with the higher-end ones, a certain number is offered as standard, ranging from 5 to unlimited. Whatever the package which you select through the signup process, you shall always be able to raise the number of PostgreSQL databases you can have from the Upgrades section of the Hepsia Control Panel, provided with each and every account. Besides working with a script interface, you shall be able to handle any database in the account through the efficient phpPgAdmin tool too. The latter may be accessed through the PostgreSQL section of the CP.
PostgreSQL 8.3 Databases in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you acquire a semi-dedicated server package from our company, you shall be able to set up and control PostgreSQL databases with ease and as part of the default set of services, not as a paid upgrade. Any kind of script-driven app that needs this sort of a database will run flawlessly as we use a cloud hosting platform and the databases run on a separate cluster of machines, not on the same server in which you will have your website files and email messages. This way, the efficiency of your websites will improve tremendously as only one type of processes will run on the web servers. Using our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel, you shall be able to log in to any PostgreSQL database which you have inside the account with the popular phpPgAdmin admin client. The latter will allow you to export, import or change any portion of the database through a web-based graphic interface.
