What databases are available?
Every hosted site gets its own MariaDB database: one per site, never shared. Managed PostgreSQL 15 and Redis 7 instances are available as add-ons from the Business plan up. phpMyAdmin and WP-CLI are included, and Pro adds a private network between your services.
One database per site is an isolation rule, not a quota: a neighbour's traffic spike cannot slow your queries because nothing about your database is shared.
Where your database runs is a separate choice: see shared vs dedicated database. Services that need to talk privately (an app and its Redis, say) can use the private network on Pro and up.

What is the difference between the shared and dedicated database?
Every site always gets its own isolated database and database user. That never changes. The difference is where it runs. On the shared tier, your database lives on our managed MariaDB server, which serves multiple sites and suits most sites well. On the dedicated tier, a private database server runs inside your site's own container with its own reserved RAM. It is included on Pro, Studio, Agency and the Solo plans, or £6/month per site as an add-on. Switching is one click from the dashboard: your site stays up in read-only mode for under a minute, and if anything fails the switch rolls back automatically.

Every site runs in its own dedicated container with its own database, isolated from every other site on the platform. The dashboard supports two-factor authentication, team roles (owner, admin, developer, editor, viewer) and audit logging.

Full answerCan I run WordPress and Next.js on the same plan?
Yes. A hosted site slot runs any supported type. There is no separate WordPress pricing or app pricing. A Business plan could run one WooCommerce shop, one WordPress site and one Next.js app side by side, each in its own container.
