Thread: Public facing PostgreSQL hosting ?
hi
i do develop on PostgreSQL from home and from work. i need public facing PostgreSQL , something i can use Pgadmin from anywhere.
performance and scalability is not important because i will be running like few operations per day.
any idea where can i find that ?
thankx
Hello You can use pgAdmin (or psql for that matter) to connect to a database over the network, provided PostgreSQL is configuredto accept this kind of connections and all the firewalls to it allow the traffic. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/interactive/runtime-config-connection.html http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/interactive/client-authentication.html A tool I heard about, but never used is phpPgAdmin.

I'm unclear what you are looking for. Are you trying to access one of your servers remotely? If so, a VPN or SSH port-forwarding are a much safer option.
Or are you looking for a third-party service that provides PostgreSQL as a service?
Cheers,
Steve

Usually it is best to have some sort of middleware in between the public & a database. Cheers, Gavin
If I understand correctly, you're looking for Postgres hosted as a service? Heroku provides hosting as a service [1], and we do allow you to connect from anywhere. It's true that generally folks in the Postgres community prefer to run databases with perimeter security and only leave your database directly accessible to your application, but we've never had any problems and we are confident in our security configuration. If you find our plans are not a good fit, you can find a list of other vendors on postgresql.org [2] (though I'm not sure which provide databases directly accessible from the public Internet).
