What is SQL Server Express Edition best suited for?



SQL Server Express is ideal for lightweight applications, such as small websites, development environments, and database-driven desktop applications.

Is there a limit to the number of databases I can host?



SQL Server Express has some limitations, such as a 10GB maximum size for each database. However, there is no limit on the number of databases you can host on your server as long as the server resources can handle it.

Do I get root or admin access to my server?



That depends what services you purchase. VPS and dedicated hosting plans come with root or admin access, allowing you full control over your server environment. With the SQL Server cloud hosting, you get to the needed permissions to manage your SQL Server Express databases.

Can I host multiple applications on the same server?



That depends on the hosting plan you choose. You can host multiple applications in VPS Windows SQL Server Hosting or Dedicated SQL Server Hosting as long as the server resources can handle them. With Cloud SQL Server hosting, you can only host one SQL Server instance.

Do you provide pre-installed SQL Server Express hosting?



Yes, we offer pre-installed SQL Server Express edition, allowing you to start using the database right away without additional setup. If you purchase a VPS or dedicated server, please specify the SQL Server Express edition so the system can install it for you.

For cloud hosting, we provide tools and options for automatic and manual backups to ensure your data is always protected and recoverable. With our VPS Windows SQL Server hosting, you can enjoy also regular backups. The dedicated SQL Server Express hosting do not provide regular backups by default. If you would like to back up your database, you can purchase addtion backup services.
