Many of the best-managed MySQL hosting platforms also have proprietary firewalls that protect your data.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Scalability<\/strong>. \u2699\ufe0f Your MySQL host should offer a variety of plans that can accommodate your site as it grows. When you switch to a bigger plan, the host should handle all of the details of upgrading the CPUs, RAM, and storage of your servers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Daily backups<\/strong>. \u231b This makes sure you can always revive your website if it goes down for any reason, whether that&#8217;s because of malicious activity or a WordPress update gone wrong.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Speed and reliability<\/strong>. \ud83d\udcc8 Your plan should grant you access to high-powered CPUs that can allow for fast, reliable database management. You also want the option to buy dedicated CPUs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll also need to consider what type(s) of hosting are available. Some hosts offer options for hosting databases separate from a website or app; others offer specialized plans for creating apps; and still others focus on website hosting that uses MySQL technology.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-dotted\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:1px;border-color:#999999\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"best-options\">Best managed MySQL hosting platforms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are our picks for the best-managed MySQL hosting:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#kinsta-hosting\">Kinsta<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#cloudways-hosting\">Cloudways<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#scalegrid-hosting\">ScaleGrid<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#digitalocean-hosting\">DigitalOcean<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#inmotion-hosting\">InMotion Hosting<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:15px;border-color:#4267cf\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"kinsta-hosting\">1. <a href=\"https:\/\/kinsta.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kinsta<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n<img data-opt-id=1827121905  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/kinsta.png\" alt=\"Managed MySQL hosting page for Kinsta.\" class=\"aligncenter size-full blog-img-std\" style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Type of hosting available \ud83d\udcbb<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Kinsta earns its place on this list of the best managed MySQL hosting platforms thanks to its variety of hosting tools, including app hosting, database hosting, and website hosting plans.
