Services

Services in Hostim.dev are add-ons you can attach to your project. These include databases, caching systems, and storage volumes. They are managed by Hostim and designed to work seamlessly with your apps.

Available services​

You can add the following services to any project:

  • MySQL: A reliable and easy-to-use database, available in shared and dedicated options
  • PostgreSQL: A powerful database with advanced features and performance, also available in shared and dedicated options
  • Redis: A fast in-memory data store for caching or pub/sub
  • Volumes: Persistent storage that can be mounted into one or more apps

How services work​

  • Each service is created inside a project
  • Services are isolated per project
  • Apps in the same project can connect over an internal network
  • Each database or Redis instance automatically exposes environment variables based on its name, making it easy to reference credentials from your apps.

You can manage services from the project dashboard and from the sidebar menu.

Why use Hostim services​

  • No manual setup or configuration
  • Secure by default (internal networking, unique credentials)
  • Monitored and maintained by Hostim
  • Simple pricing based on the plan you choose
  • Free tier available for MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis, and volumes
  • Safe internal access to databases and volumes without exposing public ports
