Dedicated PostgreSQL hosting

When the shared plans are not enough — because of compliance asks, capacity, or predictable performance under load — DBHost can manually quote a single-tenant PostgreSQL service with dedicated resources, a custom DPA, and a named sub-processor list. Talk to us →

Last updated: July 22, 2026

What’s different from Pro

  • Single-tenant VPS. Your database doesn’t share resources with other DBHost customers.
  • Dedicated AMD cores. No noisy neighbours and predictable performance — Hetzner’s CCX line gives one vCPU per physical CPU thread.
  • Custom DPA + named sub-processor list. Hetzner hosts the dedicated database instance, and you get a counter-signed DPA that names the processors involved.
  • 24-hour support response on top of Hetzner’s 24/7 infrastructure support.
  • Dedicated subdomain. Connect via <customer>.dbhost.app on a static IP that belongs to your instance.

Sizing

These are reference sizes used when preparing a quote, not fixed public packages. Availability, current infrastructure cost and the final monthly price are confirmed in the quote. The default region is HEL1 (Helsinki); logical backups are written off-host to encrypted S3 in eu-north-1.

Not sure which size? Tell us your current database size and rough query volume. We’ll suggest a tier in the quote. Sizing up later is straightforward — sizing down requires a snapshot + reprovision and we’ll coordinate a window with you.

Infrastructure details

  • Hetzner CCX in HEL1 (Helsinki). EU data residency by default. We can quote FSN1 (Falkenstein) or NBG1 (Nuremberg) on request.
  • Provider infrastructure terms. The selected Hetzner service is covered by Hetzner’s current infrastructure terms. DBHost does not pass those through as an application uptime SLA or service-credit promise unless the signed quote explicitly says so.
  • Daily encrypted logical backups to S3 eu-north-1, retained for 30 days. On-demand backups available on request.
  • 24/7 infrastructure support from Hetzner backs the VPS itself. DBHost responds to product questions and incidents within 24 hours.

What we don’t promise yet

We’d rather tell you up-front than oversell. The following are roadmap items, not Dedicated-tier guarantees today:

  • Point-in-time recovery (PITR) / WAL-G. Backups are daily logical snapshots; we restore to the most recent snapshot, not to an arbitrary timestamp.
  • Read replicas. Single-instance only today.
  • Automated failover. Failover is operator-run with a documented runbook; we’ll tell you the recovery time on the call.

When you ask for a quote, we’ll be transparent about current availability and expected timelines for any of the above.

How to start

  1. Click Talk to us on the pricing page, or fill out /contact?topic=dedicated directly.
  2. Tell us your rough database size, query volume, and any compliance asks. A line or two is enough.
  3. We respond within 24 hours with a quote and proposed sizing.
  4. On acceptance, we provision the VPS, hand over credentials and the <customer>.dbhost.app subdomain, and counter-sign your DPA.
