SQL Server Express Database Hosting

Why database hosting is complicated?

The challenge every small business and developer faces:

Affordable SQL Server hosting is now possible.

We developed SQLSimple because traditional database hosting is either too expensive for small projects or too complex to set up quickly. Our solution gives you enterprise-grade SQL Server in minutes, not days.

Expensive hosting solutions

Traditional SQL Server hosting costs $100+ per month, making it unaffordable for small businesses and side projects.

Complex setup process

Setting up your own SQL Server takes hours or days, requiring server management skills most developers don't have.

Security and backup concerns

Managing backups, security updates, and server maintenance requires expertise and constant attention.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between SQL Server Express and full SQL Server?

SQL Server Express has a 10GB database size limit but includes all core SQL Server features like stored procedures, triggers, views, and full T-SQL support. It's perfect for small to medium applications and costs significantly less to host.

Your database is created instantly upon signup. Here's the process:

  • Sign up with your email (30 seconds)
  • Receive database credentials via email (1-2 minutes)
  • Connect to your database using the provided connection string
  • Start creating tables and building your application immediately

Can I connect from any programming language or tool?

Yes! Our databases work with any tool or language that supports SQL Server connections: .NET, Python, Node.js, PHP, Java, SQL Server Management Studio, Visual Studio, and more.
