Stackhero's PostgreSQL Service

Stackhero has been operating its managed PostgreSQL solution since 2020. You can launch a production-ready environment in less than 2 minutes.

Every deployment provides you with a fully dedicated PostgreSQL server featuring TLS (SSL) encryption, the PgAdmin web interface, and essential extensions such as PostGIS (including Raster and Address Standardizer), PgVector, TimescaleDB, and more.

Each plan clearly specifies the hardware: vCPUs, RAM, and disk space. Beyond these resources, you benefit from unlimited queries, unmetered network transfer, and no cap on simultaneous connections.

Stackhero enhances cloud security and performance by running every PostgreSQL service on private, dedicated infrastructure. ISO 27001 certification ensures your data remains protected, and our 99.9% SLA guarantees reliable uptime.

You save time on ongoing maintenance. When updates are available, you receive a notification and can apply them with a single click from the Stackhero dashboard, keeping your service secure and efficient without manual intervention.

Stackhero's transparent pricing means no hidden fees, no required long-term commitments, and clear billing. When you stop a service, billing ends immediately. You receive detailed invoices each month, so you always know exactly what you are paying for.

You can try Stackhero's PostgreSQL service with a free trial. Set up a dedicated PostgreSQL server, test your workloads, and confirm it meets your requirements at no cost.
