PostgreSQL Hosting with Websoft9 on Azure

Why Choose Self-Hosted PostgreSQL on Azure?

Struggling with complex multi-step deployments requiring database expertise, manual Day-2 operations consuming hours weekly, or unpredictable managed database costs with hidden I/O fees? Websoft9 eliminates these pain points with production-ready infrastructure and automated operations—deploy in minutes and reduce maintenance overhead by up to 80%.

Hosting Value You Can Measure

Performance: Optimized query execution via postgresql.conf tuning, pgBouncer connection pooling, and NVMe SSD storage ensures consistent low-latency performance for OLTP workloads.

Reliability: 99.99% uptime SLA with multi-zone automated failover, synchronous replication, automated daily backups (30-day PITR), and network-edge DDoS protection.

Ease of Use: One-click deployment of production-ready clusters with pre-configured best practices—connection pooling, encryption, and automated maintenance—no DBA or Docker expertise needed.

Day-2 Operations: Automated security patches, workload-based optimization, 24/7 monitoring with alerts, and backup verification reduce routine maintenance by up to 80% versus DIY.

Support: 24/7/365 Azure-specialized PostgreSQL support with rapid critical-issue response and direct access to infrastructure optimization engineers.

Cost Transparency: Transparent Azure unified billing without hidden fees, eligible for MACC, reducing total database costs by 40–60% for typical enterprises.

Scalability: Vertical scaling with minimal downtime, horizontal scaling via cross-region read replicas, and automated storage expansion at 80% capacity threshold.

Websoft9 Hosting Enabler
