MySQL databases

Game servers use FadeHost’s managed databases: real MySQL, PostgreSQL or Redis instances you create under Databases in the panel, from $2/mo (one free 512MB database is included with every verified account).

Every database lives on your private network: your game servers and bots reach it by its db-… hostname with no public exposure, and you can join your own computer to query it from your IDE. An optional public endpoint exists for tools that need it.

See the Databases guide for creation, connection strings per plugin, backups and limits.

The old shared “every server comes with MySQL” system was retired in August 2026. Databases are now dedicated, isolated instances instead of tables on a shared box. If a plugin still points at the old shared host, create a database and update the plugin’s config with the new hostname and credentials.
