# Does nuzur host my database?

The simple answer is **no**, nuzur does not host your database. nuzur is a UI application that helps you design and manage you data structure as well as your records, the hosting is done on a third party provider.

So you might think, I do not need nuzur to create and manage my database. That is correct you can do it all manually, or using other tools, our intention at nuzur is to simplify the process providing you with [modern powerful tools](/features) to optimize this process and get things done quicker. 

A key area where nuzur shines is in data management [collaboration](/docs/collaboration-overview), in a traditional setup you might need to build an application to manage the data safely, adding all the necessary checks, nuzur offers a safe way of allowing others to manage the data through [change requests](/docs/collaboration-change-requests). Depending on your use case this might be enough for you to get started.

*Keep in mind that we currently support: MySQL and Postgres*

Here are some hosting providers for your database: 
- **Amazon web services** 
    - [RDS Documentation](https://aws.amazon.com/rds/resources)
    - [Connecting nuzur to RDS](/docs/data-manager-connect)
- **Google Cloud**
    - [Cloud Documentation](https://cloud.google.com/sql)

- **Supabase** (Postgres only)

Most of these providers offer many features to help manage and backup your database but you can always manage your own instance on a server.
