Database Engines
DockHosting supports relational, document, cache, analytics, and object-storage engines.
Engines
| Engine | Common use |
|---|---|
| PostgreSQL | Most production apps, relational data, SQL |
| MySQL | WordPress, Laravel, common SQL apps |
| MariaDB | MySQL-compatible workloads |
| MongoDB | Document data |
| Redis / Valkey | Cache, queues, sessions |
| ClickHouse | Analytics and large event tables |
| MinIO | S3-compatible object storage |
Choosing one
Use PostgreSQL unless your framework or workload has a clear reason to choose something else. Use Redis/Valkey for cache or queues, not as your only database.
