What is PostgreSQL VPS hosting?

Your PostgreSQL database on a VPS you fully control.

PostgreSQL is the open-source relational database behind countless web apps, SaaS backends and analytics jobs. It keeps your users, orders and events consistent, answers complex SQL queries quickly and also handles JSON, full-text search and extensions like pgvector. With PostgreSQL VPS hosting at ZAP-Hosting, you deploy it in one click from the Coolify marketplace as a Docker service on your own KVM VPS, ready within minutes.

Because the server is yours, you choose the PostgreSQL version, tune postgresql.conf for your workload, add the extensions your app needs and run that app right next to the database. Root and SSH access let you script pg_dump exports, allow only your own IP addresses and read every log. And your database runs around the clock, without ever pausing when it's idle.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about PostgreSQL

Answers to the most important questions before you start.

PostgreSQL VPS hosting means running PostgreSQL on your own KVM virtual server instead of a shared database service. And yes, Postgres is built to be self-hosted: it's open source and runs anywhere Linux and Docker run. At ZAP-Hosting you deploy it from the Coolify marketplace and keep full root access and control over the version, configuration and data.

  • Your own KVM VPS with root and SSH access
  • PostgreSQL runs as a Docker service via Coolify
  • Version, config and extensions are your call

Order a VPS, open One-Click Apps in the panel and pick PostgreSQL from the Coolify marketplace. Coolify pulls the PostgreSQL image, creates a persistent volume and generates the credentials for you. A few minutes later the database is ready, and you copy the connection details into your app. Read the One-Click Apps guide

  • Choose a VPS plan and location
  • Deploy PostgreSQL from the Coolify marketplace
  • Copy the connection details into your app

No. PostgreSQL is open source under the PostgreSQL License, so there are no license fees, whatever your database size or number of connections. You only pay for the VPS it runs on, based on the plan and term you choose.

  • No license fees for PostgreSQL
  • You pay only for the VPS

Size the plan by workload. A side project or staging database runs fine on a small plan. If your app runs on the same VPS, or you expect many concurrent connections and large indexes, choose more RAM, because PostgreSQL keeps frequently used data in memory. Storage should hold your data plus room for dumps and growth.

  • Hobby and side projects: a small plan
  • App plus database on one VPS: more RAM and CPU
  • Large datasets: storage for data plus dumps

Yes. You decide whether PostgreSQL is reachable from outside at all. For remote access, open the PostgreSQL port only to the IP addresses of your app servers, use a strong generated password and keep everything else closed in the firewall. If your app runs on the same VPS, the database can stay fully internal. Firewall guide in the Help Center

  • Allowlist only your app servers' IPs
  • Use strong, generated credentials
  • Keep all unused ports closed

ZAP-Hosting runs VPS locations in Europe and America, and you pick the one closest to your app servers and users when you order. Many teams serving North America start with Ashburn, Dallas or Los Angeles. Latency depends on distance, so place the database near the app that queries it.

  • Locations in Europe and America to choose from
  • Put the database close to your app

Yes, you can cancel anytime. You choose a term when you order. A cancellation takes effect at the end of the current term and your VPS keeps running until then, so you have time to export your data with pg_dump.

  • Cancellation takes effect at the end of the term
  • Export your data with pg_dump before it ends

Use a small self-hosted VPS: PostgreSQL itself is free, so you only pay for the server. The Coolify template saves you the manual installation, and the server runs 24/7 without pausing when idle. The trade-off is that Backups, updates and monitoring are your job, so schedule pg_dump exports and keep a copy off the server. Live plan prices are in the pricing section. How Backups work in the panel

  • PostgreSQL is free, you pay only for the VPS
  • One-click setup instead of a manual install
  • Plan your own pg_dump Backups

Why is my PostgreSQL query suddenly slow?
Run EXPLAIN ANALYZE on it first. A sequential scan on a large table usually points to a missing index, and the plan shows where the time goes before you change anything.
Which index should I add?
Index the columns used in your WHERE and JOIN clauses. Create the index with CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY so writes keep working, then compare the plan again.
