Databases often host your business's most sensitive information: customer contact details, transaction histories, business data. To guarantee their confidentiality, the OVHcloud infrastructure incorporates data encryption at rest and in transit, a dedicated firewall and intrusion detection with 24/7 proactive monitoring. Hosted in secure European data centres, your data remains subject to European law and compliant with GDPR requirements.
An online shop generates requests continuously: catalogue browsing, adding to basket, order validation. Every slowdown translates directly into a loss of conversion, and periods of high traffic (sales, promotional campaigns, product launches) further amplify this pressure on your databases. To cope with this, OVHcloud web hosting offers provide the resources and stability necessary to absorb traffic spikes, without degradation of response times or service interruption. An ideal solution for demanding clients.
ERPs and CRMs rely on databases that are constantly in use, with high requirements in terms of availability and reliability. An interruption, even a brief one, can block entire processes and paralyse business activity. To meet these constraints, OVHcloud web hosting offers include replication, disaster recovery and real-time monitoring options for your databases. 24/7 technical support completes the setup, with a guaranteed availability commitment to intervene quickly in the event of an incident.
Companies processing personal data are subject to strict obligations regarding storage and protection. Hosted in datacentres located in France and the European Union, your databases remain subject to European digital law, safe from extraterritorial legislation such as the Cloud Act. You therefore retain exclusive control of your data on the internet, without risk of unauthorised transfer to foreign jurisdictions, and in full compliance with GDPR requirements.

What is the difference between shared MySQL hosting and dedicated hosting?
What is the difference between shared MySQL hosting and dedicated hosting?
With shared hosting, the server resources — RAM, CPU, storage — are shared among multiple users. It is an affordable solution and ideal for small sites or projects with moderate traffic. Dedicated hosting, on the other hand, reserves the entirety of a server's resources for you, ensuring maximum performance and better isolation for critical workloads. OVHcloud offers plans suited to both profiles: check our plans to identify the solution that best meets your needs and budget.

How can I optimise the performance of my MySQL database?
How can I optimise the performance of my MySQL database?
Several levers can significantly improve the performance of your MySQL databases. In terms of configuration, optimising server parameters (cache, simultaneous connections, memory management) has a direct impact on response times. Regarding queries, regular analysis of slow queries and the use of appropriate indexes considerably reduce the load. The tools available from your OVHcloud customer area, such as phpMyAdmin, facilitate this optimisation work. Ultimately, choosing a recent version of MySQL and a plan with sufficient resources remains the foundation of a high-performing and reliable PHP infrastructure.
