PostgreSQL is an advanced relational database management system, which you can use on many platforms (UNIX, Linux, FreeBSD, OpenSolaris, Windows) and with various scripting languages (Perl, PHP, Python, Java, Ruby). Due to the fact that it is open-source, it could be easily modified to suit the needs of any developer who uses it. PostgreSQL is also among the most efficient and secure database systems, with superior efficiency in handling complicated operations in comparison with similar systems. It's ideal for large-scale apps as a single PostgreSQL database doesn't have a limit for the size, while a single table may be up to 32 Gigabytes. It is not surprising that lots of business, educational and government organizations are already employing PostgreSQL - Skype, the University of California, Berkeley and the US Department of Labor being just a couple of examples.

PostgreSQL 8.3 Databases in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you purchase a semi-dedicated server plan through our company, you'll be able to create and control PostgreSQL databases with ease and as part of the standard set of services, not as a paid upgrade. Any kind of script-driven app which requires such a database shall run perfectly as we use a cloud hosting platform and the databases run on another cluster of servers, not on the same machine where you will have your website files and e-mails. In this way, the functionality of your websites shall increase tremendously as only one kind of processes will run on the servers. Via our custom Hepsia Control Panel, you'll be able to access any PostgreSQL database that you have inside the account with the popular phpPgAdmin management client. The latter allows you to export, import or change any portion of the database through a web-based graphic interface.
