Hallo,

How can i add PostgreSQL to Deluxe shared hosting?

I saw a similar question that was posted about 3 years ago. I am hoping something has changed.

thanks

Hi divineevans, I hope you are well.  I am sharing some useful resources and after reading these guides you will be able to add  PostgreSQL to Deluxe shared hosting.

hi @ZulWeb thanks for the links you sent. however,

-for the first link - i have no file named installpostgres in any of my directories. Also I have no root permission in Deluxe hosting.

- the second link states that you cannot install postgreSQL on shared hosting. I referred to that in my original question and that is why i stated that i hope things are different now two years after that question was asked.

-the third link is a youtube video that talks about configuring mySQL. however, my interest is in PostgreSQL.

thank you.

Hi @divineevans,

Welcome to the Community!

The PostgreSQL product cannot be installed on shared hosting such as our cPanel Hosting plans. If you wish to use it, you will need a VPS or Dedicated server.
