Apps / MongoDB
Managed MongoDB hosting.
One server, no app limits.
Document database for modern apps, with authentication configured correctly from the start.
What it is
MongoDB is the document database: JSON-shaped data, flexible schemas, and horizontal-scale ergonomics, the default persistence layer for a decade of Node and mobile backends.
Minimum RAM
2 GB
Fits on SC-2GB; SC-4GB is the comfortable pick with room to stack.
What we install
The playbook deploys the current MongoDB Community Server from the official repository with authentication enabled from the start, bound to localhost by default, WiredTiger cache sized to the plan, and scheduled mongodump beside the block-level backups.
What managed covers
Version and server updates, daily snapshots plus dual offsite backups with dump-level restores, monitoring on memory, connections, and disk, and the managed firewall deciding what, if anything, reaches 27017.
The app is $0. The managed server is the only bill, and everything above is part of it.
What does managed MongoDB hosting include?
A secured, correctly sized Mongo with real backups and watched monitoring at flat server pricing. Notably: authentication on and internet exposure off by default, which is the configuration that keeps databases out of the news.
How does this compare to Atlas?
Atlas is excellent and priced like it, per cluster, per storage, per transfer. A single-node Mongo on a managed server covers the vast majority of applications at a flat price, with the application allowed to live on the same machine, one hop from its data.
Is single-node MongoDB production-safe?
With honest expectations, yes: daily snapshots plus dual offsite backups plus dumps protect the data, and monitoring protects the service. What a single node does not give you is zero-downtime failover; if you need a replica set, that is a conversation we can actually have.
Can Mongo share the server with the app?
That is the recommended shape: API and database on one managed server, localhost latency, one bill. Add Redis for caching and Uptime Kuma for monitoring from the same catalog at $0.
Stack it
MongoDB runs well with.
Same server, no extra bill. These are the companions our team installs next to MongoDB most often.
Redis
+1 GBIn-memory cache and queue. The cheapest speed upgrade most stacks never install. Pairs with everything.
Uptime Kuma
+1 GBThe self-hosted uptime monitor everyone loves. Watch your sites from your own server.
Frequently asked questions
How much RAM does MongoDB need?
2 GB is the practical floor; WiredTiger wants real cache. Large working sets scale up from there, and the sizing calculator counts it with your app.
Which version do you install?
The current Community Server GA from MongoDB's own repository, updated as part of management with snapshots before version steps.
Is my Mongo exposed to the internet?
Not unless you ask: localhost binding and mandatory auth are the default, and remote access is opened per-address through the managed firewall with TLS.

Shared CPU servers
The right home for MongoDB and most stacks: 3.0+ GHz vCPU, from $10/mo.
