Run SQL Server on a machine you control, with root access, private networking and the firewall rules set by you rather than inherited.

INGÅR I VARJE PLAN
SQL Server runs on Linux as well as Windows, so a Microsoft database no longer means a Windows licence on top. On a VPS you get the parts shared database hosting keeps from you: root access, control of the firewall, your own memory rather than a slice of somebody's pool, and the freedom to tune the instance for the way your application queries it.
On licensing, plainly. We supply the server and Microsoft supplies the database, and two of their editions cost nothing. Developer edition gives you the complete feature set free for development and testing, which covers most staging environments outright. Express edition is free to run in production with a cap on the size of each database, which is enough for a great many applications. If you need Standard or Enterprise, that licence comes from Microsoft or a reseller rather than from us, and it installs here the same way.
The full feature set for development and testing, at no licence cost.
Firewall rules in the dashboard, so the database is exposed on your terms.
KVM allocates real RAM, which is what a query planner needs to behave.
Developer edition is the full product, free, for development and testing. A staging environment that matches production feature for feature is one of the cheapest quality improvements available, and the only cost here is the server it sits on.
SQL Server listens on port 1433, and getting remote connections working is where most people spend their first hour. On a VPS you own both ends of that: the instance configuration and the firewall in front of it. Private networking keeps an application server talking to the database without either of them being exposed publicly.
Putting the application and SQL Server on the same machine removes the network from between them, which shows up immediately in anything chatty. When they outgrow one server, private networking splits them across two without the traffic leaving your own network.
The engine usually follows the application rather than the other way round. SQL Server suits .NET and the reporting tools built around it. PostgreSQL and MySQL install just as easily on the same plans, so the choice is yours to change later. All three run on the same KVM platform here.
Shared plans cap connections, hide the configuration and share memory with strangers. Moving to your own instance means backup schedules you set, indexes you tune and a maintenance window you choose. Take a snapshot before the cutover and the rollback is a few minutes rather than an evening.
Express edition is free in production with a limit on the size of each database. For an internal tool, a line of business application or a site whose data grows slowly, that limit is further away than people assume. Start there and move up if you meet it.
Distribuera vilken mall som helst och certifierade specialister täcker allt på servernivå, 24/7 och på flera språk. Det ingår i varje plan, förfinat under 17 år av att driva infrastruktur.
SQL Server takes memory and holds it, because that is how the buffer pool works. KVM gives it real RAM rather than a share of somebody's pool, so the amount you configured is the amount it gets when the query load arrives.
Database performance is mostly a storage conversation. NVMe keeps random reads quick and keeps the transaction log from becoming the thing everything waits on, which matters more than clock speed for most of what people put on SQL Server.
Firewall rules live in the LumaDock dashboard rather than on the server, so a misconfiguration inside the machine cannot quietly expose the database. Restrict it to your application servers, or to your office address, and know it stayed restricted.
Migrations are the moment databases go wrong. Take a snapshot of the whole machine before one runs and you have a restore point that includes the data, the instance configuration and everything else, rather than only what your backup job happened to cover.
