About NoFrillsDB

NoFrillsDB is a small, founder-run PostgreSQL hosting service built for developers and small businesses that just want a database that works — without tiered pricing, surprise limits, or unnecessary complexity.

I built NoFrillsDB after years of running PostgreSQL in production for side projects and small teams, and getting tired of paying for features I didn’t need. The goal is simple: reliable infrastructure, transparent pricing, and clear limits.

I’ve spent over 20 years building and operating production software systems. NoFrillsDB is intentionally boring — stable, predictable, and human-operated.

What NoFrillsDB is (and isn’t)

  • ✔ Simple PostgreSQL hosting
  • ✔ Pay for the storage you actually use
  • ✔ Clear limits and transparent pricing
  • ✔ Direct, human support
  • ✖ Not a hyperscaler
  • ✖ Not an all-in-one platform
  • ✖ Not built for massive enterprise workloads
