Frequently asked questions

What is MariaDB?

MariaDB is an open-source relational database management system created by the original developers of MySQL after its acquisition by Oracle. It’s designed as a drop-in replacement for MySQL with enhanced performance, more features, and a commitment to remaining truly open source. MariaDB supports SQL queries, ACID transactions, referential integrity, and all the relational database features applications depend on. It powers websites and applications for organizations ranging from startups to enterprises including Wikipedia, Google, and RedHat.

What are the system requirements for deploying MariaDB?

Deploying MariaDB requires certain system specifications to ensure optimal performance and reliability. Below are the recommended system requirements:

Hardware Requirements
CPU: Minimum: 1 GHz
RAM: Minimum: 512 MB
Recommended: 2 GB or more (4 GB for high-load environments)
Disk space: Minimum: 1 GB (more depending on the size of your database)

Operating System
Linux: Ubuntu 16
For detailed system requirements and installation guides, you can refer to the official MariaDB documentation available at MariaDB Server Installation and Upgrade Documentation.

How is MariaDB different from MySQL?

MariaDB started as a fork of MySQL and maintains compatibility while adding improvements. It includes more storage engines, better query optimization, parallel replication for faster failover, temporal tables for tracking historical data, and JSON functions. Performance is generally better, especially for complex queries. Most importantly, MariaDB is developed openly by the community without dual licensing or proprietary extensions, ensuring it stays genuinely free and open source.

How does hosting on Kamatera improve MariaDB performance?

The most common database bottleneck is “I/O Wait.” Kamatera eliminates this by using enterprise-grade NVMe storage and Intel Xeon Gold/Ice Lake processors, 2.7GHz+. This ensures your database can read and write data as fast as the software allows.

What uptime can I expect?

Kamatera offers a 99.95% uptime guarantee. Our infrastructure is built with no single point of failure, providing a resilient environment for your mission-critical MariaDB data.

Is MariaDB fully compatible with MySQL?

Yes. MariaDB maintains high compatibility with MySQL. Most applications, drivers, and libraries used for MySQL will work seamlessly with MariaDB on your Kamatera server.

How does the free trial work?

Our 30-day free trial includes one server worth up to $100. You can set up your free VPS server, install an operating system, and select a location from one of our 20+ data centers worldwide.

If you choose monthly billing, you will receive your first invoice the month after the free trial expires. For example, if you start your free trial on November 20, the free trial will be until December 20. If you choose to continue using our services and don’t terminate your server, your first invoice will be sent out after January 1. That invoice will include a prorated charge for December 20-31, as well as the month of January.

How does billing work?

Our flexible monthly and hourly pricing models allow you to keep your costs under control. If you choose an hourly server, we bill for the resources you use. You’re only charged for the time your server is running. You can see real-time usage in your dashboard, and there are no surprise charges or hidden fees.

What are the best open-source alternatives to MariaDB?

The most common open-source alternative is MySQL, from which MariaDB was originally forked; they share high compatibility, making transitions relatively simple. Another powerful option is PostgreSQL, which is often preferred for complex data types, advanced indexing, and heavy analytical workloads.

If your application handles unstructured data or requires horizontal scaling for massive datasets, MongoDB is a leading NoSQL alternative.
