Your data stays in the UK. Full stop.
Most managed Postgres providers run on US hyperscalers with global regions and cross-border support access. HostPanel is different by design.
London datacentre only
Primary, standby, and backups all live in the UK. There is no configuration in which your data is replicated or stored abroad.
UK jurisdiction
Your database is operated by a UK company on UK infrastructure, governed by UK law - not subject to another country's data-access regimes via your hosting layer.
Simpler UK GDPR paperwork
No international transfers from your database layer means no transfer risk assessments, IDTAs, or SCCs to maintain for it. Data residency becomes a one-line answer in your DPIA.
Production Postgres without the ops
Provisioning, backups, patching, pooling, and monitoring handled - you just connect and query.
UK Data Residency
Your database runs in our London datacentre and your data never leaves the UK - at rest, in backups, and in transit within our network.
UK Jurisdiction & UK GDPR
Data processed and stored in the UK under UK jurisdiction - a straightforward answer for UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018 documentation.
Daily Automated Backups
Every plan includes automated daily backups with easy one-click restore. The Business tier adds point-in-time recovery.
Postgres 15, 16 & 17
Run the version your application expects. Minor security updates are applied for you; major upgrades happen when you choose.
PgBouncer Connection Pooling
Built-in PgBouncer keeps connection counts sane for serverless clients, ORMs, and busy web apps.
SSL-only Connections
TLS-encrypted connections enforced by default, with IP allowlisting to control exactly where connections come from.
High Availability (Business)
The Business tier runs a standby replica with automatic failover, so hardware failure doesn't mean downtime.
NVMe Storage
All plans run on NVMe SSDs for low-latency queries and fast index scans.
Metrics & Query Insights
Connections, CPU, memory, storage, and slow-query visibility from the dashboard - pg_stat_statements enabled.
