Database Hosting

You can use Kinsta to host your database and connect it directly to your application. We currently offer the following database types to fulfill various data storage needs:

• Redis 5.0 and 6.x
• MariaDB 10.4, 10.5 and 10.6
• PostgreSQL 9.6, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14
• MySQL 8.0

You can connect a database to one or more applications or run a database by itself. If you create an internal connection between an application and a database at Kinsta, they communicate through a secure connection that performs better than an external connection. There’s no charge for internal traffic between applications and databases hosted at Kinsta.

Database Backups

We provide daily backups for Database Hosting that are stored for 7 days and can currently be restored by request. When a database backup is restored, all changes to the database will be rolled back to the time the backup was created.

To request a backup restoration, open a new chat with our Support team and ask for your database to be restored. Be sure to include the name of the database in your request. Please allow up to 2 business days for the restoration to be completed.
