On the Pro Persistent plan ($5/mo), your databases never expire, include 1 GB of storage across up to 5 databases, and receive daily automated .sql.gz backups.
Web SQL Console, phpMyAdmin & SSL CA
Inspect tables in phpMyAdmin, run queries directly in your browser, import .sql.gz dumps, and download ca.pem for verified SSL connections.
Need an Ongoing Remote Database? Choose Pro Persistent.
Our Free Sandbox ($0) is great for 30-day experiments, but it automatically deletes databases after 30 days. For ongoing apps, staging servers, and production side-projects, FreeDB Pro ($5/mo) gives you permanent hosting and automated daily backups.
