Can I use a database with Tiiny Host?

You can't host a database with us. Most projects are static files with nothing running that could store data, and the apps we run (PHP, Python and Node.js) don't come with a database either. You can connect your project to an external database instead.


How that works


Your project makes API calls out to a database hosted elsewhere — MongoDB, Supabase, Firebase or similar. Your code does the fetching and storing; we just serve the files.


  1. Add your API or fetch requests to your code before uploading.
  2. Upload your project to Tiiny Host.
  3. Test that reading and writing works as expected.


Your project will talk to your external database as normal.
