<p>If you are looking for a managed database in Nigeria, you are in the right place. You will learn the things you need to know right now to get started with this revolutionary service.</p>



<p>Ever since the internet ages, you had to have everything within your reach in order to have a smooth running of your business.</p>



<p>This came with the need to have a team at your disposal, which means fewer profits for you considering you now have a huge expenses list.</p>



<p>But this is changing.</p>



<p>Today, Uber is the largest taxi company in the world without owning even a single cab.</p>



<p>Don’t get me started with Airbnb, one of the biggest real estate, or should I say, landlords in the world.</p>



<p>Do they own any buildings?</p>



<p>You can bet your bones, no!</p>



<p>So, what is going on?</p>



<p>Well, turns out things are shifting. And you are in luck only if you are on the right side of things.</p>



<p>What do I mean?</p>



<p>Hotels.com and Bookings.com are giving restaurants and resorts headaches. Why? Because they are ahead of the curve. You can now book a room in Lagos before you left your house.</p>



<p>And these businesses do not have a choice but to head over to these platforms and offer them commissions to be listed.</p>



<p>What’s my point exactly?</p>



<p>You need to be right on trend to succeed.</p>



<p>And today, there is a new trend in town; managed database in Nigeria.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="0-what-is-a-managed-database-in-nigeria-"><strong>What is a managed database in Nigeria?</strong></h2>



<p>This is where instead of acquiring a database and running it in-house, you find a third-party provider to help manage your database.</p>



<p>It is that simple.</p>



<p>In a nutshell, you are outsourcing your database needs, which means three things;</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Scalability &#8211; since managed database providers like Truehost Nigeria have invested millions of Naira to ensure that they have the right hardware and resources to run and manage DBs. This means that by using such services, you save on costs and instead channel it to scaling your business.</li>



<li>Cost-effectiveness &#8211; If done correctly, a managed database in Nigeria will only spend money on exactly what it needs. Servers and other resources are only provisioned when they are needed and terminated when no longer required. This eliminates waste and keeps your costs low as your business grows or changes. </li>



<li>Security &#8211; the truth is managed database in Nigeria is often more secure than the one managed in-house. Truehost Nigeria has the expertise to maintain the security of databases, which include firewalls and daily backups. Additionally, we strive to stay up to date on the latest security threats.</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="1-what-can-you-do-with-a-managed-database-in-nigeria-">What can you do with a managed database in Nigeria?</h2>



<p>The following are some of the examples of practical use cases of managed databases;</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>A managed database can be used to store customer data, including contact information, purchase histories, and account passwords. This data can then be accessed by your sales team or customer service department in order to provide better service.</li>



<li>If you are a retailer, you can use a managed database to track inventory levels and stock prices. This information can help you make better decisions about what to stock in your store and when to order more inventory.</li>



<li>A managed database can also be used to track website traffic and analytics. This data can help you improve your website&#8217;s design and content.</li>
</ul>



<p>And the use is not limited to what we listed above.</p>



<p>The sky is the limit.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="2-managed-database-plans-and-pricing-"><strong>Managed Database: Plans and Pricing</strong></h2>



<p>There are two different types of database cluster plans. Single node clusters let your database stay on one computer, so if it crashes, you will not have any data. ;</p>



<p>But you can also have a high availability cluster where the database is shared by many computers so if one crashes, there will still be some data.</p>
