I am looking to buy one domain with web hosting <https://www.hostinger.in/web-hosting>
but they have mentioned unlimted mySQL database does that mean I can create 1 or many master DB with 2-3 slave replica's ?? Any idea? See screenshot below

<@UQJDWSL79> by unlimited MySQL they usually mean you can create _n_ number of databases on a single instance. It wouldn't be master-slave or replicas.

If I want replicas what is the option then?

<@UQJDWSL79> you will need to pick a more low level cloud provider like AWS, DigitalOcean, Linode etc.

Hi Bilal, I am learning about sharding, database replication etc so just wanted to try some hands on. Can you recommend some hosting platform for server and DB?

<@UQJDWSL79> I strongly recommend DigitalOcean platform if you wanna learn about sharding &amp; replication. They have inexpensive servers ready to use so that you can learn all the setup.

I currently host all my servers on the platform. Here is my referral link <https://m.do.co/c/33e40efaed09> if you wanna try out the platform.

Thanks Bilal, I have registered from above referral link. If possible can you recommend me any good plans for my use case?

<@UQJDWSL79> great! I would recommend going small for now. Start with the cheapest droplet on DigitalOcean i.e 5$/month as your playground and learn all the concepts you wanna.

Just wanted to know will I be able to do all the things like DB Sharding, Master slave replication, also can I use Redis, Kafka or RabbitMQ with it?

Also are there any hidden costs which I should be aware of (if there are any)? or $5 per month is final price which they will charge

One more thing I wanted to also test this functionality lets say traffic of users exceeds certain limit then I want to create more read replicas for high read throughput and auto scale it (I guess this can be done with kubernetes)

<@UQJDWSL79> you can definitely setup database sharding or master/slave or Redis/Kafka/RabbitMQ on DigitalOcean. However, You will need to do all the setup required for what you wanna achieve. It wouldn’t be configured out of the box.

In my knowledge DigitalOcean doesn’t support auto-scaling as of yet.

There is managed Kubernetes offered by DO. However, I don’t know much about it.

Yes all the setup I will do it but just wanted to know can I implement it on $5 per month plan will that be sufficient at start? Also wanted to know $5 per month is final price or do they charge extra based on usage or any hidden costs?

<@UQJDWSL79> yes, 5$ per month is a final cost if you just use their single droplet.

Checkout their pricing page, which explains how and when you will be charged

yes checking thanks a lot :slightly_smiling_face:
