Hostman Managed MySQL provides cloud-hosted MySQL clusters for web applications, ecommerce systems, SaaS data, and transactional workloads. It is aimed at teams that want Hostman to handle provisioning, updates, routine maintenance, and monitoring while they manage databases, users, and privileges through a web dashboard. Deployment regions span Europe and the United States, giving location options for applications with regional infrastructure requirements.

Pricing is structured around four resource sizes, with monthly and hourly billing. The entry plan costs $11 per month or $0.01503 per hour for 2 × 3.3 GHz CPU, 2 GB RAM, and 60 GB NVMe storage. The next tier provides 2 × 3.3 GHz CPU, 4 GB RAM, and 80 GB storage for $20 per month or $0.02732 per hour. Larger configurations cost $38 per month or $0.05191 per hour for 4 × 3.3 GHz CPU, 8 GB RAM, and 160 GB, and $74 per month or $0.10109 per hour for 6 × 3.3 GHz CPU, 16 GB RAM, and 320 GB. There is no free plan.

Operational controls are a strong part of the offering. Customers can resize resources from the dashboard, schedule or run backups manually, restore backups, configure private networks and firewall settings, and monitor resource and database activity. The service also includes managed MySQL provisioning and routine maintenance, reducing the infrastructure work around a database deployment. Scaling is manual, so teams should expect to choose when to increase CPU, RAM, or storage. Hostman Managed MySQL suits budget-conscious teams that need managed database operations across multiple regions; workloads requiring high availability should choose another service.
