Database Administration — from €79/mo
We will speed up and protect your database — query optimization, backups and 24/7 monitoring. Request DBMS maintenance today
Order database maintenance
Database administration is a maintenance service for your DBMS: MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB or another engine. We optimize queries and indexes, set up backups and replication, watch the load and keep the database under 24/7 monitoring. Slow queries get faster, and the data is protected by regular, verified backups. From €79/mo on the Mini, Pro and Max plans — we take over setup, optimization and incident response. Need a server for the database itself? See our VPS for databases.
Plans
Database administration. Mini — 4 hours of work per month, Pro — 10 hours, Max — 25 hours; beyond the plan — €19/h.
Mini covers one database; Pro suits several DBMS under high load and adds optimization, replication and priority support. The engine and the scope of work are agreed in advance. Max gives you 25 hours of work per month with priority response and regular audits.

Query optimization
We find slow queries and tune indexes and the DBMS configuration, so the database answers faster under load.
Backups and replication
We set up regular backups and replication and verify the restore procedure, so your data cannot be lost.
24/7 database monitoring
We watch the load, connections and the state of the DBMS around the clock and respond to incidents before the application fails.
How we maintain databases
Database audit
We analyze the schema, slow queries, indexes, load and backup settings, and record the bottlenecks and the work plan.
Setup and optimization
We optimize queries and indexes, tune the DBMS configuration and set up backups and replication for your load.
Ongoing support and monitoring
We run 24/7 monitoring of the database, install updates and respond to incidents under an agreed procedure.
A one-off database task?
You do not have to be our client. Queries are slow, backups need setting up or data needs recovering? Order the 1 hour of work package for €39.50: you pay for one job — we do it.
Send us access to the server and we will check whether the task fits into one hour. If it does not, we will suggest the right administration plan. No account required.

MySQL and MariaDB, PostgreSQL, MongoDB and MS SQL: parameter tuning, query and index optimization, replication, backups and recovery.
We collect the slow query log, read the execution plans and add missing indexes. Often fixing one query brings the gain, not a bigger server.
Yes. We configure regular backups, store the copies away from the production server and verify restores on a test database.
Yes. We build replication to spread the read load and to reduce the risk of data loss if the primary server fails.
Yes, regularly: a backup that has never been restored is not a backup. Restore tests are part of the maintenance routine.
We inspect current locks and long transactions, find the offending query and fix it or the schedule of maintenance jobs. Restarting the database is the last resort, not the first.
Yes, we need access to the DBMS server with administrator rights. You can issue a separate account for us and revoke it at any time.
The price depends on the volume of work, not the number of databases. Mini — 4 hours of work per month for €79/mo, Pro — 10 hours for €189/mo, Max — 25 hours for €429/mo. Extra work is €19/h.
