Key benefits of hosting Node-RED on VPS
100% data ownership
With a NocoDB VPS, your data stays yours. You create, access, and control every table, field, and form without third-party limits. Unlike SaaS tools, self-hosting NocoDB on a VPS gives your team full control over customer data, backups, and permissions. Your database is hosted on your server, with clear rules around storage, privacy, and compliance.
Integration with external databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL)
NocoDB works seamlessly with existing databases, letting you connect, view, and manage data from MySQL or PostgreSQL in one clean app. Using source connections, your team can open tables, edit fields, and share access without changing the underlying code. Hosted on a Docker VPS or Linux VPS, this setup allows you to use NocoDB as a flexible platform while keeping your production database intact and secure.
Scalable storage
You can scale your VPS storage as your project expands. Create new tables, add data, and deploy services confidently, knowing your database is backed by reliable infrastructure. OVHcloud VPS makes it easy to add, set, and manage storage without downtime. With NocoDB hosting, scaling is simple, predictable, and cost-controlled for every customer and team.
