Instant Free MySQL Database
Skip IAM roles, security groups, and server provisioning. Create a free MySQL database with auto-generated or custom credentials and connect immediately from Node.js, Python, PHP, Next.js, or Go.
Free & Persistent Remote MySQL Hosting
Start with free remote MySQL hosting for 30-day tests, or upgrade to the $5/month Pro (Persistent) Plan to remove all expiration timers and host on pro.freedb.tech with 1 GB storage and 5 databases.
Hassle-Free Management & Recovery
Run queries in the built-in web SQL console, import .sql or .sql.gz dumps up to 10 MB, manage tables in phpMyAdmin, and download daily or on-demand backups anytime.
Free MySQL Hosting vs. Pro Persistent Remote MySQL Hosting
Test your schema with a free MySQL database (30-day free remote MySQL hosting sandbox), or upgrade to Pro ($5/month) when your application needs persistent storage, automated backups, and higher capacity. Upgrade in place—existing free databases stop their 30-day timer immediately.

How We Protect & Manage Your Databases
No vague marketing claims—here is exactly how security, backups, data retention, and availability work on FreeDB today.
Database Security
Every database is provisioned with an isolated MySQL user scoped strictly to that schema (GRANT ALL ON db.*). Connections on port 3306 support TLS/SSL encryption with our downloadable ca.pem certificate.
Backups & Recovery
Pro & Custom databases receive automated daily mysqldump (.sql.gz) backups retained for 5 days, plus 1-click on-demand backup snapshots and automatic final backups before database deletion. Restore anytime via SQL Import.
Clear Data Retention
Free databases expire after 30 days (with a 24-hour email alert). Pro databases never expire while subscribed. If you cancel Pro, your databases stay persistent through your billing period and get a 30-day grace window afterward.
Availability & Support
Pro databases run on a dedicated Pro host (pro.freedb.tech) separated from free-tier workloads, with manual admin review safeguards before any storage or expiry enforcement and direct email support at support@freedb.tech.
Free Remote MySQL Hosting for Developers, Students & Apps
Whether you need a free MySQL database for a university project or persistent remote MySQL hosting for a live SaaS app, FreeDB uses standard MySQL 8.0 over TCP port 3306. Connect from serverless functions, backend APIs, desktop SQL clients (MySQL Workbench, DBeaver, TablePlus), or BI tools without configuring SSH tunnels.
