Gear Host Free, $ 0.00/mo. on Linux Cloud

MSSQL and MySQL Database Hosting is an add-on database service for managed relational database storage inside the GearHost cloud workflow. The lowest listed database cost starts at 0.00 per month and includes a small 5-10MB allocation, while the paid listed database level reaches 1GB for 5.00 per month. Additional database space is priced at 1.00 per extra gigabyte and can expand automatically once the database goes beyond the plan limit. Database creation is handled in the GearHost account by using the Databases menu, entering a database name, selecting the plan and type, and creating an empty database. MSSQL and MySQL are both supported, MSSQL collation can be selected during creation, and existing collation changes require a support ticket. Remote administration works with tools such as SQL Server Management Studio for MSSQL and MySQL Toolbox style tools for MySQL. Database restore guidance is available for recovery workflows.
